Excerpt from A Moment's Mistake, Vol. 1A winter evening in London, and, in the din ing-room of a house in Harley Street, two men had finished dinner. Everything - from the stocks round their necks and the straps of their trousers, together with each hideous and costly article of furniture - proclaimed the period in which they lived. Early Victorian was stamped upon the ¿orid pattern of the carpet, and on the ornaments and gilding of the room. But though their dress bespoke a date, the ages of the men themselves were not so easy to determine, except that both were past their prime. Close by them, with the dessert and wine upon it, stood the table they had left to sit in their armchairs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
