Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An American Family: A Novel of to-Day When a clock somewhere in the big strange house struck a deliberate three, Jean Gilbert sat up in bed and craned forward for a better look out of the window at the June night. No signs of dawn yet, though there might be if it weren´t for a thin old moon high up in the sky. Anyhow, there would surely be daylight in an hour, and she did not believe she would fall asleep sooner than that. If she did not it would be fair to say, wouldn´t it (to her self, of course. She did not mean to confide the adventure to any one else), that she had lain awake all night? It was sultry still. Chicago, it seemed, had gone to sleep at last. It must be half an hour anyway since the last motor had gone howling by in the Drive. She could hear quite plainly the tired little waves collapsing on the beach beyond the slender strip of parkway. She pulled her two thick braids forward over her shoulders and dropped back on the pillow again. She hoped she wouldn´t go to sleep. There were so many wonderful things to think about; memories - fresh warm memories, all less than a week old which she had not half got through the catalogue of. She had said the other day in answer to Mrs. Corbett´s blunt "How old are you, child?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
