Book Description
Excerpt from Jim of Hellas or in Durance Vile: Bethesda Pool But the men who sit together in the upper room still look out Of the windows a great deal, because from them they can see the harbour, and beyond it the sea; and the sea is what they love best to look at, for the greater part of their lives has been spent On it. Old sea-captains, -it needs but one glance to tell of what the Upper House is composed: Men with faces that might have been carved out of mahogany, wrinkled and seamed and beaten into strange lines by wind and weather; with gray or white hair, for the most part, and shaggy beards, yet with keen, bright eyes which are used to looking, and, what is not always the same. Thing, to seeing what they look at. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
