Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Needle´s Eye Above, blazed myriad stars set close in a heaven of infinite darkness; below, shone the dimly luminous face of earth, piled high with fresh-fallen snow. Betwixt the two a bitter wind whined fitfully, the snow leaping up in misty swirls to greet it, only to sink again in fantastic ripples and curiously-wrought crests in fence-corners and hollows. Erastus Winch emerged from his house into this mystery of cold and night, and stood for an instant, staring about him with the blank, unseeing eyes of one newly aroused from sleep. The wind hurled itself upon his heavy, stoop-shouldered figure, tearing savagely at his garments, which became on the instant all white and sparkling with the transfiguring snow crystals. He raised his smoky lantern that he might consult the black-avised thermometer, which rattled uneasily on its rusty nail beside the door. "Five below!" he ejaculated, scowling at the unoffending register of temperature. "Humph!" The immediate result of his subsequent cogitations appeared in a brisk reopening of the closed door. "´Liz´beth! I say, ´Liz´beth! Be ye goin´ to lay abed all day? It´s more´n four o´clock a ready, ye´d ought to have yer fire a-roarin´ by this time. Consarn it! didn´t I tell ye yiste´day I was goin´ to kill to-day?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
