Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beyond the Dreams of Avarice: A Novel "Lucian!" The sick man was propped up by pillows. His bands lay folded outside the coverings. All that could be seen of a face covered with an iron-gray beard was deathly pale. His deep-set eyes were bright. His square, strong brow, under a mass of black hair hardly touched with gray, was pale. "Lucian, I say." His voice was strong and firm, although the patient repose of his head and hands showed that movement was either difficult or impossible. "Lucian, it is no use trying to deceive me." "I do not try to deceive you. There is always hope." "I have none. Sit down now and let us talk quietly. It is the last chance, very likely, and I have a good deal to say. Sit down, my son - there - so that I may see you." The son obeyed. He placed a chair by the bedside and sat down. He was a young man about seven-and-twenty years of age. He had the same square forehead as his father, and the same deep-set bright black eyes; the same straight black eyebrows. His face was beardless; the features were strong and clearly cut; it was a face of resolution: not what girls call a handsome face, but a face of intellectual power, a responsible face, a masterful face. His broad shoulders and tall, strong figure increased the sense of personal force which accompanied the presence of Lucian Calvert.
