Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Archbishop and the Lady The heavy little train, with its carriages modelled apparently after the pattern of a child´s toy, rumbled slowly away from the station, starting up a new cloud of dust which whirled with appropriate laziness. It appeared to be a sleepy valley, this Val de Moncousis, and the dust of the track emulated the motion of the train which caused it to arise. Quentin had seen his belongings thrown upon the asphalted platform, and picking up his valise, he turned toward the plastered station and entered. He made for the exit, gave up his ticket, and passed through the further door. He came upon a circle of green round which the white road wound the end of its loop-like thread. The circle and accompanying road reminded him of a frying-pan with a long handle stretching away down the slight incline. There was no carriage standing there, as he had expected, and, to his disgust, no vehicle of any kind. Quentin turned to the Chef de Gare. "Is there no carriage here from the Abbey?" "As M´sieu sees there is none." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
