Excerpt from The Mysterious AbductionYou wish to Shield him, but I refuse to allow you to suffer further persecution.I have told you the truth Marguerite replied, looking at me with dignity, it has nothing to do with my guardian, and there is moreover some thing mysterious happening. I think upon second thoughts that you ought to know about it. Three times during the last fortnight I have raised my eyes to find those of a masked stranger fixed upon me, once whilst walking in the chateau grounds, I saw his head upon the outside of the boundary wall, as I looked, so it disappeared. Upon the second occasion as I was riding home upon my horse, accompanied by my groom, I saw the man for an instant only, on the borders of the Old wood of Venne, he vanished amidst the trees. Last night as I was gazing from my window upon the moon lit grounds I saw him for the third time, by the side of the lake, staring in my direction, he was in the shadow, and thought I supposed, unnoticed. I went to call my maid but when we looked for him he had vanished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
