Excerpt from King Stork of the Netherlands: A Romance of the Early Days of the Dutch RepublicA kiss, my pretty one. Nay, just one. Did ever a maiden look so tragic! He added, when I struck him in the face, because he dared to put his arm about my waist.No sooner had I given him that blow than I re pented, for who can tell the consequences of striking a Spaniard? It is true they have not the power in Leyden that they once had, yet every one seems to fear them even now. It is as though the fear had become part of our nature after so many years of oppression. But he only said again, Did ever a maiden look so tragic!

'tis terrible, Bertrand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
