Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Silence, and Other Stories At dusk Silence went down the Deerfield street to Ensign John Sheldon´s house. She wore her red blanket over her head, pinned closely under her chin, and her white profile showed whiter between the scarlet folds. She had been spinning all day, and shreds of wool still clung to her indigo petticoat; now and then one floated off on the north wind. It was bitter cold, and the snow was four feet deep. Silences breath went before her in a cloud; the snow creaked under her feet. All over the village the crust was so firm that men could walk upon it. The houses were half sunken in sharp, rigid drifts of snow; their roofs were laden with it; icicles hung from the eaves. All the elms were white with snow frozen to them so strongly that it was not shaken off when they were lashed by the fierce wind. There was an odor of boiling meal in the air; the housewives were preparing supper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
