Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Captain of the Kansas "I Think I shall enjoy this trip," purred Isobel Baring, nestling comfortably among the cushions of her deck chair. A steward was arranging tea for two at a small table. The Kansas, with placid hum of engines, was speeding evenly through an azure sea. "I agree with that opinion most heartily, though, to be sure, so much depends on the weather," replied her friend, Elsie Maxwell, rising to pour out the tea. Already the brisk sea-breeze had kissed the Chilean pallor from Elsie´s face, which had regained its English peach-bloom. Isobel Baring´s complexion was tinged with the warmth of a pomegranate. At sea, even in the blue Pacific, she carried with her the suggestion of a tropical garden. "I never gave a thought to the weather," purred Isobel again, as she subsided more deeply into the cushions. "Let us hope such a blissful state of mind may be justified. But you know, dear, we may run into a dreadful gale before we reach the Straits." Isobel laughed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
