Excerpt from The Ashes of AchievementThat was Dr. Payne's introduction to the family, the latest member of which he had just successfully launched on a career. He watched the new father curiously, as he stood by the bed, looking down on his wife and the morsel she was cuddling. As John Lee looked, his face worked strangely. He was a queer-looking man. Youth had long departed from his face, scared by the old soul that looked out on the world through such jaundiced eyes. Commonplace in feature, a small nose took all character from his face. Time, not an artistic worker, had used his burin savagely, and engraved deep brown lines on either side of the insignificant nose; his eyes, brilliant still, and saving the face from banality, were sunk in cavernous depths; his hands, wrinkled prematurely, were those of a man who is fated not to grasp what he reaches for; they possessed that habit of the weak man, gripping each other behind his back, or resting, wrists outward, on the hips, a position always assumed by indetermined, irresolute men. Impatient eyebrows, constantly knitted, gave an air of irritation to the whole personality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
