Darkness & Daylight: A Novel

Paperback (Forgotten Books June 28, 2012)
Collingwood was to have a tenant at last. For twelve long years its massive walls of dark grey stone had frowned in gloomy silence upon the passers-by, the terror of the superstitious ones, who had peopled its I nills -with ghosts and goblins, savins oven that the snowy-I nured old man, its owner, had more than once been seen there, moving restlessly from, room to room and muttering of the darkness which came upon him when he lost his fair young wife and her beautiful baby Charlie. The old man was not dead, but for years be had been a stranger to his former home. In foreign lands he had wandered up and down, up and down from the snow-clad hills of liussia to where the blue skies of Italy bent softly over him and the sunny plains of France smiled on him a welcome. But the darkness he bewailed was there as elsewhere, and to I ds son he said, at last, We will go to A merica, but not to Collingwood not where Lucy used to live, and where the boy was born, So they came back again and made for themselves a home on the shore of the silvery lake so famed in song, where they hoped to rest from their weary journeyings. But it was not so decreed.(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.
