Excerpt from The Flaming SwordAt the head of the table, stretched in his chair, his head hanging loosely on one shoulder, his mouth gaping, sprawled a stoutish young man, in evening dress. His arms depended loosely over the chair-arm, and the fin gers of one hand, swollen below his jeweled rings, still held the end of an extinguished cigar. The candles near est him had gone out and the gray light from the win dow painted his livid face against the somber background with pitiless precision. Beside him, in another chair, the red spots in her face making its pallor and texture the more apparent, sat a girl, staring with dull eyes into vacancy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
