Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Foster-Sisters: Or Lucy Corbet´s Chronicle If one thought anything of omens (which I do not in general, though I confess I would rather not see the new moon through glass) I might think it a bad one that my first distinct recollection is of a fall. It happened in this wise: I was sitting on the edge of the great fountain basin, eating a bit of spice cake, and watching some vernons - so they call the little wild canaries in that part of the world - which were flying in and out of the great ivy on the north wall, where I suppose they had young ones. In my interest in the birds, I forgot that my perch was both narrow and slippery. I leaned backward, the better to obtain a view of the bird´s nest, which I could but just see, and so doing I lost my balance, and down I went into the water. Luckily for me, there was help at hand, for the basin was deep and I was small. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
