Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wild Goose Francis Manners woke up one morning with the feeling that he was a long way from home, and that he had been away a long time, and that he ought not to stay away any longer. "Ought" is a strong feeling; and there was no reason which he knew of to justify it. He had gone to bed with the feeling that he could not finish his work in California before the middle of April; and he had waked the next morning - a blustery one near the end of February - with the feeling that he ought to go home at once. This, however, was impracticable. In order to pay his most pressing obligations he had undertaken in a moment (which he now felt to have been a dark one) to fresco the dining-room walls of Mrs. Cooper Appleyard´s new house, and he had still to make the preliminary sketch for the end with the two doors. And this sketch of course had to be made among the surroundings from which it was to draw its inspiration. Mrs. Cooper Appleyard´s new house was to be Californian inside and out. With the thought that he could perhaps get the sketch finished by April Fool´s Day, he turned on the cold water in his bathtub and began to shave. While he was shaving he told himself that he really ought to go home at once. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
