Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joan at Halfway Jo-Ann - Jo-ann!" Uncle Garret´s voice was querulous and thin. Its volume had fled with his youth and strength; moreover it ended in a snarly twitch, as if a sudden twinge of pain had shorn it of its full intent. Uncle Garret was sitting on the side verandah. The splint-bottomed chair, which usually supported his rheumatic leg, was untenanted; both the strong limb and the ailing one resting upon the floor. Uncle Garret could not lift the lame leg himself, and that was one of the reasons why he had been willing to have Joan come to Halfway, but it was not the main reason. That main purpose he kept to himself, only making answer to those who questioned, that he had got her for help and company. Uncle Garret was Stipendary Magistrate, and disabled as he had been of late by rheumatism, surely needed help, young eyes and willing feet and deft hands. And she ought to be around in sight when he wanted her, especially when Aunt Hetty was not at home; where could she be loitering! He called again, three times, in his thin, sharp voice. "Jo-ann, Jo-ann, Jo-an-n!" The last call was piercing, and full of twitches and twinges. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
