Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winds of Chance When Martin Trevellion - the Martin Trevellion - opened his eyes and found himself lying inside his mother's tea-caddy, he was surprised and puzzled, for his mother had been dead these many years and the brown box belonged to the far-off, hidden days when they were poor and he was the widow-woman's son. Also, although he'd been very small, even then he'd been much too big to climb into the caddy, and it wouldn't have swayed and creaked. What was he doing in the little old caddy if he was worried about being late for dinner at the Berkeley with Mercia? She was Lady Mercia in her own right, and like a white orchid as he told her at moments - precious moments. His mother had never even heard of Lady Mercia, yet he had to get out of the caddy and send Lady Mercia a clever and ironic and loving marconigram washing out the dinner. The wording would have to be good. She would demand this in the circumstances, especially from him. The whole trouble was the fog. And now it had percolated into his aching head. All very bewildering. He did the wise thing, and fell asleep. A long time later he had sorted matters out - almost. He was in his cabin on the cross-Channel packet - why had he ever thought it was a tea-caddy? - but owing to the dense fog God only knew when they would dock, and he had to warn Mercia, or she would be at the Berkeley and he in the Straits of Dover and then there would be all hell to pay, though it would be smooth and cold as ice, and too freezingly polite. The funny thing was, the perplexing thing, that he should not have been in his cabin at all, but out on the dripping, shrouded deck talking to a funny little commonplace girl in a worn tweed coat with a cheap scarf wrapped round her head.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winds of Chance Lucky Broad's three-legged table stood among some stumps beside the muddy roadway which did service as the main street of Dyea and along which flowed an irregular stream of pedestrians; incidental to his practised manipulation of the polished walnut-shells he maintained an unceasing chatter of the sort above set down. Now his voice was loud and challenging, now it was apolo getic, always it stimulated curiosity. One mo ment he was jubilant and gay, agam he was contrite and querulous. Occasionally he burst forth into plaintive self-denunciations. Fixing a hypnotic gaze upon a bland, blue eyed bystander who had just joined the charmed circle, he murmured, invitingly: Better try your luck, Olaf. It's Danish dice - three chances to win and one to lose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winds of Change, From "Woodstock Now and Then" The Common, with its stately homes and trees, the valley stretching to the east and the westward hills covered with orchards, is one of the loveliest in all New England. The sur rounding countryside of little villages and comfortable dairy farms provide a firm economy and a serene way of life which is scarcely ruffled by the Winds Of change which comes in little gusts. So many sounds have vanished from the life of these old New England towns: The singing of the spinning Wheels and the swishing of the mill wheels; the whirring of the carriage wheels and the clack, clack, clack of hoofs; the screaming of the saw mills and the hammering of the fulling paddles; the sweet music of dulcimers and the day-long drone of sermons; the measured clang of the forge and the crackling of fires in big wood ranges. All these have gone, and in their place have come the modern sounds of cars and tractors and sprayers and radios. But these are not so strong that we cannot feel the quiet all around, nor hear the wind moving in the great trees, nor miss the counting of the hours by the sweet Academy bell.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wind's Will There were two events that stood out prominently in the first twelve years of Christopher Dunham's life. The first was his discovery that money, in addition to being a useful medium of exchange, is also a standard of value and the product of the sweat of somebody's brow, either the owner's or someone subject to the owner's suasion, moral or otherwise. If it hadn't been for this first event, it is doubtful if the woman would have found the time, the place, and Christopher properly conjoined when she came driving down the road that led past the "store" and so out to the prairie, beyond which lay the rest of the world. And the coming of the woman was the second event. Christopher wanted a bicycle, one of the improved pneumatic-tired, diamond-framed, unattainable kind of safeties on which the Terrible Swede, Little Jimmy Michaels, and Jack Swinton, the county champion, rode to victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wind of Destiny All the day long the corn had been yellowing in the summer's sun. The hills of Ashurst were barely visible through the haze; even the river seemed asleep. Behind the house a path led along the low, rambling wall, overgrown with bushes; a fringe of sumach, among whose red fruit the clematis trailed in lines of smoke-like bloom. At the end of the path a few tall pines overtopped the bank, throwing long shadows upon the slender sedges and pale green grass that ventured out a little way from the shore. Checked by the curve at this point, the river rested here a moment, its wide expanse of luminous waters unbroken by a ripple.
