Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bailiff of Tewkesbury "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?" - Shakespeare. It was about eight o´clock on a bright cool October evening some three hundred years ago. The moon, nearly at the full, was cleaving her way upward through a shell of dappled clouds, and throwing tree-shadows across the glades of a park in mid-England. Two young men were seated on the turf beside a recently felled log, not upon it, but crouched in its shade, and still further screened by the long fan-like limb of a young beech which spread directly over their heads. As far as their forms could be distinguished, they were both youths of twenty or thereabouts: one, a stout clownish fellow in leather jerkin, leggings and heavy clouted shoes. Coiled round his arm were two or three horse-hair nooses, and a newly-killed hare lay at his side. The other, of slighter build, wore the doublet, hose, and boots of a gentleman, though daylight would have shown them grievously soiled and tattered. Over this array, either for the sake of warmth or partial disguise, he had huddled a rough frieze jacket. Apparently, he was less used to weather than his companion, for he fidgeted about, rubbing his hands, shrugging his shoulders, and beating his feet on the ground. At length he rose and began swinging his arms, whereat the leather-clad vouth broke silence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
