Author Description

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Tales, Vol. 1 When do you go to town, James? At this season I know you can ill be spared from business; my sister's health, you say, has been delicate. When do you return to Anne? The moment you are ready, replied James, with forced cheerfulness. You are in better spirits to-day, Richard; you look more yourself. Be a man, Dick, and no fear of us. Shall I take places for London by the mail? Or, stay, - better have a chaise to ourselves, where we can talk freely you look as if you needed a lean to your back. James said this with his natural smile, the look which Richard liked in his brother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
