Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Family Tree, and Other Stories June 22, 1887.This is the longest day of the year; and it has seemed the longest of my life. I scarcely closed my eyes last night during the endless hours, while my memory persisted in recalling every word she had spoken in our brief talk, and in bringing up before me again every movement of her head as she sat between me and the fading twilight that outlined her delicate figure against the gray curtain. With the early dawn I arose restlessly, impatient to get away from solitude; I began the day with a railroad ride of five hours in cars which grew hotter and dustier as the train sped along the arid track: but it is not because of any of these things, or because of all of them, that the day has seemed so long to me. There is a reason deeper and more potent than these trifles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
