(Forgotten Books Aug. 13, 2012)
Setting on her golden hair a hood spread with pearls and tying round her waist the widows girdle, the Countess of the White Moor entered the chapel where she prayed each day for the soul of her husband, killed by an I rish giant in single combat. That day she saw, on the cushion of her praying-stool, a white rose. At the sight of it she turned pale and her eyes grew dim; she threw her head back and wrung her hands. For she knew that when a Countess of the White Moor must die she finds a white rose on her stool.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
