Married in Haste

Excerpt from Married in HasteI leaned over the stile to gaze at it. The moonlight kissed the white Spires, the snow-covered meadows, the distant houses. From the bare hedges and the branches of the trees hung great icicles which glittered like diamonds. The red berries shone on the holly trees,. The tall dark firs stood out in martial array, the stars shone in the night-sky.Oh, beautiful Christmas-eve! Something stirred in my heart and brought tears to my eyes when the bells began to ring and the soft sweet chime came to me across the snow.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
