Books with title Tortoises

Excerpt from The TortoiseEdward Heaton found himself so much in accord with the sour psychologist that as he finished dress ing he made some excellent resolutions, such as he often did when he looked cheerft forth on the morning of another day, and this rather unpleasant reminder in the fact that he was indubitably forty put an edge on to the steel with which he prepared to carve himself into the immediate future. He told himself that, though he felt young enough (and in matter of physical and artistic vigour was young enough), it was certainly time to give visible token of the reality of his powers, and set to work without delay. There, below his bedroom window, was the roof of his arena, the studio in which he had so many delightful little gatherings, which grouped them selves round different sketches of his, in each of which, when he began it, he divined a potential masterpiece. There they stood, some slightly dirty, some even a little faded, some still not yet quite dry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
