Excerpt from A Fight With Fortune, Vol. 1 of 3 Wrangel, plumber and glazier, whose an cestors had been plumbers and glaziers at Englehurst since the Conquest, according to village tradition. Wrangel was a plaus ible fellow, with three daughters, the young est of them about five years older than young Cotton, and all three ready for what, in village life, reflects the flirtation of the higher classes. Poor Charles Cotton was at a great disadvantage. He liked a bit of fun; he was not stupidly shy; but what is a boy to do against three young women older than himself? Old Wrangel taught him his trade well enough, swearing at him fiercely during the process; for this young Cotton cared not. He even preferred Wrangel's strong language to the cynical scoldings of his pious uncle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Prince Fortune and Prince Fatal, Vol. 1 of 3 A gentle pair. People patted their blonde heads, and praised their pretty English faces; yet scarcely more English than anything else. Just such child heads may be met under many a Southern sky. Even upon Porto Venere's jagged and shadeless rock, famed for its black-browed women, even there will flock after you flaxen-haired, blue-eyed imps, bold, bare legged, and ragged, with skins for the sun to colour skins which soap and water would bring out white enough to match with any little Saxon of the lot! To the left of the blonde-headed heir is another boy, of an altogether different type, taller by. A head a paragon of boyish beauty; a confident air; a mobile face, where every word comes with a blush that is not shame but pride; dark, wavy hair; dark, dazzling eyes of varying hue, Violet or black or grey; a figure to match the face, lithe and straight, full of the fair promise Of manhood's grace and strength.

Excerpt from Fortune's Wheel, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel I do not doubt it, Mr Ross - I do not doubt it, replied the other, motioning away with an affable wave of the arm the tender of the Highlander's snuff-mull. He was excited, and could not help showing it, though he prided himself on the serenity of his deportment. We do what we can; but man's powers are limited, and we must have resident proprietors if we are to develop the local traffic. Donald Ross rumpled up his shaggy eye brows. He was a fine specimen of the elderly hillman - as tall as the station-master, and far more muscular. Hard-looking and weather beaten, he seemed to have worked away, in a long life among the hills, all superabundant flesh from his bone and sinew. Though his Saxon was serviceable, like the cobs, he was not strong in it; he failed to catch the mean ing of the station-master, and he struck back into his own line of thought.
