Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cynthia a Daughter of the Philistines, Vol. 1 Then your aunt what-was-her-name left you the thousand pounds, and you chucked your berth and sat down to a novel. "Nothing happens but the unforeseen" - the result justified you. You sold your novel; you got a hundred quid for it; and the Saturday, and the Spectator, and every paper whose opinion is worth a rush, hails you as a coming light. For you to consider marrying now would be flying in the face of a special providence.´ ´Why?´ said Humphrey Kent. "´Why!" Are you serious? Because your income is an unknown quantity. Because you´ve had a literary success, not a popular one. Because, if you keep single, you´ve a comfortable life in front of you. Because you´d be a damned fool.´ ´The climax is comprehensive, if it isn´t convincing. But the discussion is a trifle "previous," eh? I can´t marry you, my pretty maid, et cetera.´ ´You are with her all day,´ said Turquand - ´I conclude she likes you. And the mother countenances it.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
