Excerpt from A Mad Marriage: A NovelThat was the history Of Saltmarsh. For eight years it was to be let, and hadn't let, and that is where the matter began and ended.Gray, lonely, weather-beaten, so I had seen the forlorn house any time these twenty years so this evening of which I am to write I saw it again, with the mysterious Shadow of desolation brooding over it, those two upper windows frown ing down - sullen eyes set in its sullen, silent face. From childhood it had had its fascination for me - it had been my Bluebeard's castle, my dread, my delight. As I grew older, this fascinating horror grew with my growth, and at seven and-twenty it held me with as powerful a spell as it had done at seven.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
