Excerpt from The WhirlwindAt any rate, they grew more and more mutinous, and the black man who held them in check would have lashed them bitterly with his whip had it not been for the uneasy protest of the woman on the back seat.The driver of the enslaved horses was himself a slave. The white woman owned him.She was the mother of the morsel of shapeless lace-smothered pink that wailed and mewled against her round young bosom. The pretty boy who sat with the driver, and the tiny girl who sat next to the woman, erect in all the dignity of six years, and whose fat legs and turned-up toes did not reach the edge of the cushion - these two were children of a friend.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
