Excerpt from The Fair Moon of Bath Mr. Timothy curtis rode slowly through the still night, and with half -seein g eyes watched the white road to the west unroll itself before him under the light of the midsummer moon. His brows were drawn together in a dark frown, and his face wore a look of deep dejection most unusual with this happy mortal. For Timothy Curtis, though hampered by the possession of what he considered a wholly inadequate income, was never one to waste time in counting his lacks. He brought to each draught of life a zest, which amply atoned for any want of savour in the cup, and deeming the possession Of a strong sword-arm, a host Of friends, and a wealthy uncle, whom Time might propitiate, sufficient riches for any man, he commonly won the smiles of Fortune by virtue of his persistent refusal to flinch at her frowns. To-night, however, Timothy's wonted happy outlook on the world was clouded. He had ridden long, for to a light purse every unnecessary halt is an extravagance; he had ridden hungry since noon for the same reason; and he had ridden in solitude owing to his whimsical preference for a journey in the cool evening rather than in the dust and heat of the day. But none of these considerations was responsi ble for the melancholy that shadowed his soul.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
