Excerpt from Kincaid, From Peking: A NovelA mutual friend introduced them, believing, perhaps, that he was doing a favor in bringing two such kindred souls in contact.They surveyed each other with more than ordinary curiosity. 50 might the gladiators of old have taken each other's measure ere locking arms in the deadly combat.Neither deigned to appear other than confident, and yet, strange to say, in spite of the supercilious smile with which they acknowledged the introduction, there was something of uneasiness in each 'heart. On Kinkaid's part because he found the estimate he had formed of Sir George's dashing appearance at a distance more than qualified at close quarters; while the British diplomat confessed to seeing something in the grim air of the N ew, Yorker that warned him he had a tough proposition be~ fore him, if he hoped to beat the other out in the game of hearts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
