Excerpt from The Way of an EagleHE long clatter Of an irregular volley Of musketry rattled warningly from the naked mountain ridges, over a great grey shoulder Of rock the sun sank in a splendid Opal glow, from very near at hand came the clatter of tin cups and the sound Of a subdued British laugh. And in the room Of the brigadier-gren eral a man lifted his head from his hands and stared upwards with unseeing, fixed eyes.There was an impotent, crushed look about him as Of one nearing the end Of his strength. The lips under the heavy grey moustache moved a little as though they formed soundless words. He drew his breath once or twice Sharply through his teeth. Finally, with a curious groping movement he reached out and struck a small hand-gong on the table in front Of him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
