Was the only answer as the individual addressed left the speaker's side and made his way through the crush towards a tall girl who had just dismissed her partner in the last dance. The ball-room at Brabazon House was almost inconveniently crowded on the occasion of this, the first great function of the London season, and progress was a little difficult. A gleam of satis faction crept into Mr. Nugent's steadily following eyes when at length the Maharajah stood bowing before the fair young Englishwoman.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tower of London Julian Peveril and Nigel within its Traitor's Gate, for a space; but the dramatist is merely copying locality from the history books and the novelist is so impatient with the fate that has carried two Of his young men under the archway of the Bloody Tower that he cuts off his chapter with the words, But the thoughts and occurrences of a prison are too uniform for a narrative, and we must now convey our readers into a more bustling scene. Really, Sir Walter, this is too scant an excuse to drive us out of one of the most wonderful buildings in the world to the spacious mansion of the Duke of Buckingham with the demesne belonging to it, the foundations of which are now covered by the Hotel Cecil, and the demesne blotted out by the buildings of the Strand and the Adelphi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traitor's Son: A Novel He was not an old man in years, though his hair was white, and the well-worn Continental uniform hung loosely on his wasted frame. His features were large, well molded, and strong; upon his face was the expression of one who is weary of life; in his deep-set grey eyes smoldered still the fires of a once fearless manhood, but about him had settled the shadow of a miserable tragedy, against which he seemed to have struggled in vain, until at last he had resigned himself to await with what patience he could the coming of Death to release him. What ever the future held for him, he felt, could be no worse than the shadow of disgrace that had over cast his life for so many years. The man's slender fingers plucked nervously at the buttons of his coat, and at every sound outside in the hall he would glance at the door, with a look of mingled eagerness and dread. At length the door opened softly, and a woman entered. Placing a lovely, full-blown pink rose in his hand, she kissed his forehead gently. She was a beautiful woman.

He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

The great ship was bearing as the Vrede bore, but was overhauling her as though the honest Dutch craft had been riding at an chor; in less than an hour she would be right abeam, and the master clung to the rail and gazed at her, nodding his head in grave recognition while she came foaming along. In the Opinion Of her master the northeaster was but a breeze, and so above the topsails her topgallant sails were spread in sturdy defiance. Under this huge press Of canvas she fled before the wind, but mocked its power as she fled, her long fine bows slicing, driving through the seas which came thundering over her forecastle as if their deadly earnest had been but child's play.

Download or read book The Spy and the Traitor written by Ben Macintyre and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The celebrated author of Double Cross and Rogue Heroes returns with a thrilling Americans-era tale of Oleg Gordievsky, the Russian whose secret work helped hasten the end of the Cold War. “The best true spy story I have ever read.”—JOHN LE CARRÉ Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist • Shortlisted for the Bailie Giffords Prize in Nonfiction If anyone could be considered a Russian counterpart to the infamous British double-agent Kim Philby, it was Oleg Gordievsky. The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6. For nearly a decade, as the Cold War reached its twilight, Gordievsky helped the West turn the tables on the KGB, exposing Russian spies and helping to foil countless intelligence plots, as the Soviet leadership grew increasingly paranoid at the United States's nuclear first-strike capabilities and brought the world closer to the brink of war. Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source. Their obsession ultimately doomed Gordievsky: the CIA officer assigned to identify him was none other than Aldrich Ames, the man who would become infamous for secretly spying for the Soviets. Unfolding the delicious three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Gordievsky's nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyre's latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings readers deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional, and one man's hatred of communism had the power to change the future of nations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from London, Vol. 2 of 3: Its Celebrated Characters and Remarkable Places Whitehall Palace was originally built by Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent - that proud and powerful noble who, in the days of King John, stood by the side of his royal master on the famous field of Runnymede, and who in the following reign, was dragged an ignominious traitor to the Tower. By De Burgh it was bequeathed to the Con vent of the Black Friars in Holborn, in whose church his body found honourable interment. By this religious order it was transferred, in 1248, to Walter de Grey, Archbishop of York; from which period till the fall of Cardinal Wolsey it continued to be the London residence of the prelates of that see, and thence derived its ancient name of York House. York House appears to have been almost entirely rebuilt by Wolsey. Here, during many years the Cardinal Arch bishop resided in a style of regal splendour which has sel dom been surpassed even by the most magnificent of our monarchs.
