Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Professor´s Legacy The room in which Dacre had been asked to wait was evidently Professor Elsler´s study. It was large, and from floor to ceiling the walls were lined with books. There was a writing-table near one of the narrow windows, and there were other tables heaped with pamphlets, microscopes, loose papers, and boxes, probably holding specimens. When he was first shown in Dacre thought the room was empty, but as he looked round he saw that a child sat in a corner by the porcelain stove, and that she had an open book in her hands and was staring at him over the top of it. She was a quaint little figure with two thick plaits of red hair, long greenish eyes, and a pale, clear skin. She was dressed in black, and before Dacre´s sudden appearance she had evidently been crying. "How do you do?" he said to her in German. The child got up and came towards him, offering him her hand. "How do you do?" she said in English. "You speak English already?" said Dacre in surprise. "How old are you?" "I am ten," said the child. "But my mother was English. She spoke German as you do, and she never spoke it to me." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
