Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Greatest Books, Vol. 5 The story opens on a grey October afternoon in the Isle of Wight, in the ´sixties. Alma Lee, the coachman´s handsome young daughter, is toiling up a steep hill overlooking Chalkburne, tired and laden with parcels from the town. As she leans on a gate, Judkins, a fellow-servant of her father´s, drives up in a smart dog-cart, and offers her a lift home. She refuses scornfully, to the young groom´s mortification; he drives off, hurt by her coquetry and prophesying that pride goes before a fall. Then a sound of bells is heard - a waggon drawn by a fine bell-team climbs the hill, and stops by Alma. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
