We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive classic literature collection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also in books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.I had never need to keep any record either of the date or place. It was the fifteenth night of July, in the year 1758, and the place was Lieutenant Clutterbuck’s lodging at the south corner of Burleigh Street, Strand. The night was tropical in its heat, and though every window stood open to the Thames, there was not a man, I think, who did not long for the cool relief of morning, or step out from time to time on to the balcony and search the dark profundity of sky for the first flecks of grey. I cannot be positive about the entire disposition of the room: but certainly Lieutenant Clutterbuck was playing at ninepins down the middle with half a dozen decanters and a couple of silver salvers; and Mr. Macfarlane, a young gentleman of a Scottish regiment, was practising a game of his own.He carried the fire-irons and Lieutenant Clutterbuck’s sword under his arm, and walked solidly about the floor after a little paper ball rolled up out of a news sheet, which he hit with one of these instruments, selecting now the poker, now the tongs or the sword with great deliberation, and explaining his selection with even greater earnestness; there was besides a great deal of noise, which seemed to be a quality of the room rather than the utterance of any particular person; and I have a clear recollection that everything, from the candles to the glasses on the tables and the broken tobacco pipes on the floor, was of a dazzling and intolerable brightness. This brightness distressed me particularly, because just opposite to where I sat a large mirror hung upon the wall between two windows. On each side was a velvet hollow of gloom, in the middle this glittering oval. Every ray of light within the room seemed to converge upon its surface. I could not but look at it–for it did not occur to me to move away to another chair–and it annoyed me exceedingly. Besides, the mirror was inclined forward from the wall, and so threw straight down at me a reflection of Lieutenant Clutterbuck’s guests, as they flung about the room beneath it.

STAR WATCHERSFinger-pointing and busy-body whisperers were driving Joseph mad. Nailing the last wall securely, he dusted off his hands. Joseph stood back to appraise his work. Mary will like this, he decided. Two new rooms enlarge our house the perfect amount for adding children, Joseph hopefully predicted.Mary had always been his inspiration. A smile forced the curves of his lips to raise as Joseph envisioned his lady love. She just happens to be the sweetest woman that any guy could want! So, Joseph sought to prepare a nice place for his wife to move into as soon as possible.Time was urgent. You see, Mary was already nine months pregnant! Joseph admitted a setback to his perfect plan with the latest wrinkle: Caesar Augustus demands that everyone return to the town of his forefathers. Joseph was pleased to know that both he and Mary’s family descended from David’s line. But he wasn’t happy to acknowledge that Nazareth was over sixty miles north from Bethlehem.Those darned Romans rule with an iron fist! “What’s the purpose of a census, anyway?” Joseph whined to Mary. Laying a hand on his arm, the ever-understanding Mary flipped Joseph’s switch. “Let’s go now, Joseph!” she pleaded. “We’re wiped! Nazareth smothers us now. We need to get away just to breathe! “Consider that Yahweh is sovereign. He’s in charge. He probably is the catalyst for Caesar’s demand that’s forcing us to register in Bethlehem. … And remember that this pregnancy is also His idea!” Mary smiled at her husband.Joseph’s heart melted at Mary’s words. Suddenly he felt warm inside. No longer angry, he admitted, “Of course you’re right, Mary. Okay, get ready for a week’s worth of travel. We begin tomorrow.”Mary giggled. Encircling Joseph’s neck with her arms, she felt happy for his attitude reset. “Before your thoughts attack again, let’s consider this journey as an adventure!” she suggested, offering hope. “Let’s be on the lookout for Papa to delight us with surprises on the way!”Joseph nodded his head in agreement. Mary is good for him. Papa never disappoints. Check out Star Watchers to experience for yourself Papa’s surprises. Some are utterly delightful. Others require re-alignment to see the embedded silver lining. But Papa is always in charge! AND, He always looks out for our best!
