Excerpt from Beauty and Nick: A Novel of the Stage and the Home the Artistic Temperament in Fateful Action Nicholas Barton was born with a queer temperament. He was one of those who think a great deal but say very little. He was a dreamer, something, perhaps, of a poet. At least beneath all his quietude and reserve there was a great well of emotion, with deep waters which threatened to rise and overwhelm him when they were stirred by kindness or unkindness, by queer unexpected beauties of sound or color or scent, or by some keen, sharp touch from one of those mysterious fingers of fate which sometimes come out of the darkness to pluck at human heart strings. He was conscious of great mysteries about him. Sometimes he walked a little way toward them, with peering eyes, with a wild beating of the heart, with an adventurous fear, like a primitive creature in a great forest. Then, panic-stricken, he would hurry back to his familiar work, saying nothing of his venture, or of the things he had seen. He was very watchful, and, as it were, always on his guard, as though encompassed by hidden perils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
