Excerpt from Without Sin: A Novel A sun-ray, ¿ung back in cold re¿ection from an upper window, struck down through the glass roof. It glowed redly on a faded strip of arras, hanging from a brass rod across a small door which gave access to the rooms above the shop. Suddenly through the stillness of the dead past came the soft footsteps of a living present, and the sound of a care fully drawn bolt only by a second preceded the stirring of the blurred figures on the worn arras into a quivering life. A hand, tiny and white and dimpled as that of a marble Amorini, pushed aside the heavy folds, and into the midst of the art of the world, among the treasures of gone kings and queens, the relics of the ravishing fripperies of famous. Light-o'-loves, glided a girl-child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
