Excerpt from GobseckAT eleven o'clock one evening, during the winter of 1829 - 1830, two persons who were not members of the family were still seated in the salon of the Vicom tesse de Grandlieu. One of them, a young and very good-looking man, took leave on hearing the clock strike the hour. When the sound of his carriage wheels echoed from the courtyard, the viscountess, seeing no one present but her brother and a family friend who were finishing their game of piquet, went up to her daughter as She stood before the fireplace, apparently examining a fire-screen of shaded porcelain while she listened to the sound of the same wheels in a manner to justify the mother's anxiety.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
