Excerpt from Under the Red Flag, and Other TalesHis friend looked in the direction indicated. Yes there, creeping from the covert of the trees, stealthily, serpent-like, stole forth a woman - young, handsome, smartly dressed in a black silk gown, and a bonnet all roses and lace - a shopkeeper in holiday attire. The face was dark with hatred and malice, the eyes were bright with angry fires. Slowly, stealthily, the footsteps followed in the path the lovers had taken - following as the shadow follows the sun, as night follows day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
