Excerpt from A Wheel of FireMiss Wainwright's cousin, who was visiting her, had incurred the housekeeper's deep displeasure by openly laughing to scorn Hannah's announcement Of her intention to play the chaperone, and it may have been the memory Of this scoff which imparted to Mrs. Stearns' aspect SO unusual a severity.The great collie, Wallace, who was asleep in a window-seat cushioned for his especial comfort, would now and then give a snore so loud that it awoke him; whereupon he would sit upright, casting a glance of deepest reproach across the wide, low room at his mistress and the lawyer, as if to indicate his indignant surprise that any one could be guilty of so great a breach of good breeding. For a moment the air Of superior virtuousness would be maintained, and then the handsome head would somehow droop until the dog was again at a hunt in dreamland.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
