Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Duke Francis Le Claire Haselle, Duke of Grandon, and many things besides, had come to the limit of his reign. There was straw lying a foot deep for a quarter of a mile before Grandon House, and in the sick-chamber you could hardly hear a sound out of all the London noises. He was only forty-eight, and he lay with his eyes still bright and his wits about him, but his doom had been told and he knew there was just a grain or two of sand to run through the glass. Only one sat in the room beside his bed, a tall man with a long face and a square mouth and two little bits of side whisker. His features were clean cut, though by no means handsome; his eyes light grey, and his costume scrupulously correct in the mode of the sportsman about town. "Pull up that blind a bit, Pursie," said the Duke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
