Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Optimist The ship swung slowly away from the side of the wharf. Several people on board then said, "Well, we´re off at last!" to several other people who had only been thinking of saying it. Owen Quentillian remembered another, longer, sea-voyage taken by himself at an early age. Far more clearly he remembered his arrival at St. Gwenllian. It was that which he wanted to recall, aware as he was of the necessity for resuming a connection that had almost insensibly lapsed for several years. He deliberately let his mind travel backwards, visualizing himself, a disconsolate, shivering morsel, being taken away from Papa and Mamma at the very station itself, and put into an open pony-cart beside Miss Lucilla Morchard. The conversation between them, as far as he could recollect it, had run upon strangely categorical lines. "Who are you?" "I´m Canon Morchard´s daughter. You can call me Lucilla." "How old are you?" "I´m fifteen, but you shouldn´t ask grown-up persons their age." "Oh, are you a grown-up person?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
