Excerpt from DawnBurton discovered the Great Terror, though he did not know it by that name until some days after ward. He knew only, to his surprise and distress, that the Treasure Island, given to him by his father for a birthday present, was printed in type so blurred and poor that he could scarcely read it.He said nothing, of course. In fact he shut the book very hastily, with a quick, sidewise look, lest his father should see and notice the imperfection of his gift.Poor father! He would feel so bad after he had taken all that pains and spent all that money and for something not absolutely necessary, too! And then to get cheated like that. For, of course, he had been cheated such horrid print that no body could read.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dawn By H. Rider Haggard "You lie; you always were a liar, and you always will be a liar. You told my father how I spent the money." "Well, and what if I did? I had to look after myself, I suppose. You forget that I am only here on sufferance, whilst you are the son of the house. It does not matter to you, but he would have turned me out of doors," whined George. "Oh! curse your fine words; it's you who forget, you swab. Ay, it's you who forget that you asked me to take the money to the gamblingtent, and made me promise that you should have half of what we won, but that I should play for both. What, are you beginning to remember now is it coming back to you after a whole month? I am going to quicken your memory up presently, I can tell you; I have got a good deal to pay off, I'm thinking. I know what you are at; you want to play cuckoo, to turn 'Cousin Philip' out that 'Cousin George' may fill the nest. You know the old man's soft points, and you keep working him up against me. You think that you would like the old place when he's gone ay, and I daresay that you will get it before you have done, but I mean to have my penn'orth out of you now, at any rate," and, brushing the tears of anger that stood in his brown eyes away with the back of his hand, the speaker proceeded to square up to George in a most determined way.
