Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mistress of Bonaventure After relaxing its iron grip a little so that we hoped for spring, winter had once more closed down on the broad Canadian prairie, and the lonely outpost was swept by icy draughts, when, one bitter night, Sergeant Mackay, laying down his pipe, thrust fresh billets into the crackling stove. It already glowed with a dull redness, and the light that beat out through its opened front glinted upon the carbines, belts, and stirrups hung about the rough log walls. "´Tis for the rebuking of evildoers an´ the keeping of the peace we´re sent here to patrol the wilderness, an if we re frozen stiff in the saddle ´tis no more than our duty," said the sergeant, while his eyes twinkled whimsically. "But a man with lands an´ cattle shows a distressful want o´ judgment by sleeping in a snow bank when he might be sitting snug in a club at Montreal. ´Tis a matter o´ wonder to me that ye are whiles so deficient in common sense, Rancher Ormesby. Still, I´m no´ denying ye showed a little when ye brought that whisky. ´Tis allowable to interpret the regulations with discretion in bitter weather - an´ here´s a safe ride to ye!" A brighter beam that shot out called up the speaker´s rugged face and gaunt figure from the shadows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
