Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plashers Mead The slow train puffed away into the unadventurous country; and the bees buzzing round the wine-dark dahlias along the platform were once again audible. The last farewell that Guy Hazlewood flung over his shoulder to a parting friend was more casual than it would have been, had he not at the same moment been turning to ask the solitary porter how many cases of books awaited his disposition. They were very heavy, it seemed; and the porter, as he led the way toward the small and obscure purgatory through which every package for Shipcot must pass, declared he was surprized to hear these cases contained merely books. He would not go so far as to suggest that hitherto he had never faced the existence of books in such quantity, for the admission might have impugned official omniscience; yet there was in his attitude just as much incredulity mingled with disdain of useless learning as would preserve his dignity without jeopardizing the financial compliment his services were owed. "Ah, well," he decided, as if he were trying to smooth over Guy´s embarrassment at the sight of these large packing-cases in the parcel-office. "You´ll want something as´ll keep you busy this winter - for you´ll be the gentleman who´ve come to live down Wychford way?" Guy nodded. "And Wychford is mortal dead in winter. Time walks very lame there, as they say. And all these books, I suppose, were better to come along of the bus to-night?" Guy look doubtful. It was seeming a pity to waste this afternoon without unpacking a single case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
