Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of a House-Boat, Vol. 2 of 3 And who can tell what dreams and reveries may not be in the calm deeps of her eyes, which can be thoughtful and wistful enough when they are not full of malice, and wickedness, and downright rude insolence (to persons older than herself)? Apparently she is looking away, across the undulating landscape, with its varied features of wood and meadow, of hedgerow and upland slope, emerging from the pale mists of the dawn; but there may be quite other visions before her. Perhaps she is thinking of the olden days of romance and heroic adventure, when noble earls "came sounding through the town"; perhaps she is only thinking of New York, and of some facetious and correctly-dressed young man there. When one civilly bids her good-morning, she turns round with a startled look: clearly her thoughts have been far away. "Well," she says, "the more I see of England, the more I am surprised to think how such a wonderful lot of things should have happened in so small a place. And not only small, but - but - empty. The country seems dead. There´s nobody in it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
