Excerpt from The Old Post-RoadAround the Nag's Head Tavern in havre-de-grace the wind whistled and yelled like a fury, dashing down the Bellaire road and around the corner into J uniata Street with an eerie shriek, with now and then a sobbing catch in it. The storm-wrack swept through the slats of the shutters and puddles of rain collected under the casements, dammed in by the woodwork and only prevented from dripping over into the room by the slant of the window-sills. The house was heavily built, but at intervals it trembled, with long, shivering vibra tions, as though for the moment the insensate material were quickened and made capable of terror.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
