Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gabled House, or Self-Sacrifice The day had been calm and still; one of those June days when the world exults in gladness - when human souls pause, and, bending low with the blue above them, bless God silently; the birds in the old elms were still, the bee hummed drowsily, and the butterfly with wings of black and gold hung on the tendrils of the clinging vine. The far-off fields had a dreamy look - the patient herd chewing the cud beneath the sheltering trees; and the plough stood still between the furrows of the springing corn. Back from the dusty road stood a gabled dwelling, built in the olden time, with wings, and low, deep windows, the sides draped heavily with ivy, and the massive porch curtained with woodbine and the coral honeysuckle. Inside, the walls wore the same ancient look, the rooms large and airy, with furniture of solid oak, quaintly carved and cushioned. The staircase, having its base in the great central hall, was a prominent feature, the steps low and deep, and built of solid oak, leading up to rooms that took their names from the color of the walls. A strange silence rested on the outer world - the stillness of death was in the house. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
