Excerpt from The Magnet: A RomanceOne saw at the first glance that the Shark was less of a pleasure-craft than a floating home, and such a domicile she had truly been for fifteen years. Asthma and an insubordinate heart had retired her owner from the service of his country; the same affliction forbade his residence ashore and com pelled him to seek a warm winter climate. Where fore, he wisely bought the Shark for a mere song, and made of her a home for himself and his three little motherless daughters: Cécile, aged nine; Paula, aged seven, and Hermione, aged four.That was fifteen years before the epoch of this saga, so that we find our three sirens at the dan gerous ages of from nineteen to twenty-four. Little heed had their cantankerous parent ever given them, and little need had they of it, as from the very first day to the present, they had found a wise and kindly nurse, playmate, and duenna in that splendid old grizzled viking, Christian Held strom, Master Mariner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
