Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Anglo-Indians The bedroom door creaked with the irritating perversity peculiar to inanimate objects, and Fay Fleetwood said something angry under her breath. Being a door in an old-fashioned Indian bungalow - albeit the bungalow was one in a popular hill-station - it had no lock, only long bolts at the top and the bottom, and the lower bolt scraped on the floor in defiant accompaniment to the squeak of the hinges. Fay listened, anxious, intent. Across the passage her father´s snores resounded loud, long, regular. She marvelled how her mother could rest with such a noise in the room - but then it took a good deal to disturb mother either sleeping or awake. In the present circumstances this was fortunate, for had Mrs Fleetwood heard movements at such an early hour in her youngest daughter´s bedroom she might have arisen to investigate the cause, and would certainly have prohibited Fay´s expedition to the top of the hill to see the dawn break over the snows. Mother would forbid "such mad nonsense" once she knew of it, and add the usual things that so bored Fay to hear: " You must recollect that you are sixteen - no longer a child. We really ought to have left you at home. We really ought not to keep you in India," etc., etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
