Excerpt from The Tents of WickednessThere is no use in speculating, she said to herself at last. God is engaged to take care of me. I mean to do right. And with a sigh, part of relief, part of resolu tion, she stepped out into the garden and walked quickly to the wide space under the chestnuts where the crowd of sisters and children were busy arranging the booths, and in a few minutes she was as occupied as they.The air by the time the féte opened was balmy and soft, the sky blue, and the sun shining. It was the middle of May, and the garden looked its best. The public, who were admitted to the inclosure but this only day in the year, consisted of the parents and guardians of the children, and such intimate family friends as were invited by them. Brothers over nine were not allowed, and no unmarried men. This limited the profits of the poor, no doubt, but it did not seem to limit the pleasure and interest of the shy, pretty French girls just budding into womanhood, who had not as yet known any stronger social stimulant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
