Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Red O´ the Feud That was an hour ago, and now the Waynes were gone, and the wide moor and the sky looked on while Wildwater buried its own dead under the stones that once had sheltered them. There had been no quarter, and not a man, not a man-child, had escaped. The feud was surely stilled; yet across the waste - far off and fitful, yet not to be mistaken - came the howl of Barguest, the Brown Dog of the Waynes, whose voice was lifted always in prophecy of Wayne disaster. The smoke sprang ruddy to the sky, hiding the stars; only at the edges of the moor, where the wind blew wide the scurrying clouds, a lone star peeped and twinkled now and then, as if afraid of what it looked upon. The Waynes had reason to know Barguest well. He had been their ghostly ally through too many centuries to let them doubt his friendliness and power. Yet even they, had they heard the Dog´s insistent whine, would have laughed to-night at his forebodings. How could disaster await them now - now that their foes lay piled beneath the wreckage, and not a Ratcliffe lived to wear his sword? But they did not hear the Dog this once; they had unbuckled their swordbelts, down yonder at the house of Shameless Wayne, had filled their goblets, and were taking that ease which comes only after battle well-sustained. They did not hear the Dog; but a woman heard him in the house of Wildwater, as she stooped beside her goodman and listened to his dying words. "Go, go!" he muttered. "The flames are licking at you - remember the burden that you carry." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
