Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 2 of 2 Minna had been lucky enough to find quarters near Zurich which corresponded very closely with the wishes I had so emphatically expressed before leaving. The house was situated in the parish of Enge, a good fifteen minutes' walk from the town, on a site overlooking the lake, and was an old-fashioned hostelry called 'Zum Abendstern' belonging to a certain Frau Hirel, who was a pleasant old lady. The second floor, which was quite self-contained and very quiet, offered us humble but adequate accommodations for a modest rent. I arrived early in the morning and found Minna still in bed. She was anxious to know whether I had returned simply out of pity; but I quickly succeeded in obtaining her promise that she would never again refer to what had taken place. She was soon quite herself again when she began to show me the progress she had made in arranging the rooms. Our position had for some years been growing more comfortable, in spite of the fact that at this time various difficulties again arose, and our domestic happiness seemed tolerably secure. Yet I could never quite master a restless inclination to deviate from anything that was regarded as conventional. Our two pets, Peps and Papo, largely helped to make our lodgings homelike; both were very fond of me, and were sometimes even too obtrusive in showing their affection. Peps would always lie behind me in the armchair while I was working, and Papo, after repeatedly calling out 'Richard' in vain, would often come fluttering into my study if I stayed away from the sitting-room too long. He would then settle down on my desk and vigorously shuffle about the papers and pens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of My Life, Vol. 2 of 2 The naval department's ignorance, therefore, had the effect of applying to the least guilty - or, to be exact, those who got off with the lightest sentences - a much more rigorous punishment than to the others; because they were deprived of all communication with the outside world, whilst we were within reach of news, and able to enter into negotiations with the captains of any foreign vessels coming into the port of Noumea, should an opportunity of doing so present itself. Knowing just about as little as our official naval men of the topography of the Antipodes, and not exactly understanding what was meant by a fortified place, I imagined myself buried away in a prison built upon a rock, the descent from which would be a most arduous task. Still, as only the dead never return, I accepted my incarceration with a light heart, and with the h0pe of abridging its duration to the best of my ability.

Our allies were aiming more and more openly at the union of Congress Poland with Galicia, the whole being subject to their own suze rainty.
