Excerpt from The Winter Bell In all the last thin drift of snowstorm that swept the lake and made it a wilderness without borders, there appeared only one dark object. This was a man on snowshoes, who came with the wind at his back. Smoking flights of dry snow continually outstripped him, his breath whirled ahead and vanished in them, so that his advance over the white waste had a labored air, as if he were lagging amid universal hurry. Anyone who had tried to keep pace with him would have found this retardation a mere fancy, perhaps a painful fancy after half an hour or so, for Salem Delaforce was moving rapidly, with a light swing more trot than walk. A white rabbit, hanging dead at his waist in front, joggled as if trying limply to run, head downward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
