Excerpt from The Story of Barbara, Vol. 2: Her Splendid Misery and Her Gilded Cage; A NovelIt seems like a bit of some grand old world where giants may have lived and flourished. There is a spaciousness, an airiness, unknown in a pastoral country hemmed in by hedgerows and dotted with the dwellings of humanity. Here you may drive for miles without passing a human habitation. Even those open stretches of land redeemed from barren ness to the uses of agriculture have a Wild nu tenanted look. One sees no labourer at work. All is silence and loneliness. No voice save the ever lasting voices Of Nature the hum of the bee among the heather; ocean's mighty diapason dwindling to a murmur in the sunny distance; the cry of the sea gull the melodious rapture of the lark.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
