Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ...was grandpapa. He was very tall and thin; but old age had made him stoop, and his head inclined towards his chest. His beard was silver white, and so was the little hair he possessed, for the top of his head was bald. "Here you are at last, Elinor. Thunder and lightning! what has kept you? For the last four hours I have been expecting you." "The children did not come by the first train, papa." "Thunder and lightning! did you not understand the telegram rightly?" "Yes, papa; but they lost the train at Le Mans." "Where are the children?' "Here, papa." And the children looked up into a face which, though stern at times, was of exceeding beauty. With a bright and radiant smile he greeted and blessed them. Raoul and Martha were delighted; Lottie more terrified than pleased. Then followed a run over the place: the arbour, which, in summer, formed a sort of sitting-room for the family; the garden, the fields, the brook that flowed calmly through the meadows, all were delightful to the children; but they were tired with travelling and excitement, and glad to get to bed early. CHAPTER IX. THE MICE. "Ah!" said Lottie, sitting up in bed, "so we are at grandpapa's at last; and Martha is dressed and gone, and here is my breakfast." Lottie attacked the milk and breadand-butter with a good appetite. Presently she heard a little grating noise. "What is that?" she said. The noise ceased. "I am not afraid," said Lottie; "but I would like to know what it is. Ah, I see!" Creeping across the floor was a tiny gray creature, with bright black eyes. "Good-morning, little creature, ' said Lottie; "come here.' The little animal disappeared, as if by...

Book Description
The author of the “engrossing” (People) international bestseller The Room on Rue Amélie returns with a moving story set amid the champagne vineyards of France during the darkest days of World War II, perfect for fans of Heather Morris’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Champagne, 1940: Inès has just married Michel, the owner of storied champagne house Maison Chauveau, when the Germans invade. As the danger mounts, Michel turns his back on his marriage to begin hiding munitions for the Résistance. Inès fears they’ll be exposed, but for Céline, the French-Jewish wife of Chauveau’s chef de cave, the risk is even greater—rumors abound of Jews being shipped east to an unspeakable fate. When Céline recklessly follows her heart in one desperate bid for happiness, and Inès makes a dangerous mistake with a Nazi collaborator, they risk the lives of those they love—and the vineyard that ties them together. New York, 2019: Recently divorced, Liv Kent is at rock bottom when her feisty, eccentric French grandmother shows up unannounced, insisting on a trip to France. But the older woman has an ulterior motive—and a tragic, decades-old story to share. When past and present finally collide, Liv finds herself on a road to salvation that leads right to the caves of the Maison Chauveau.

Book Description
Packed with surprising and fascinating information, London's Lost Rivers uncovers a very different side to London - showing how waterways shaped our principal city and exploring the legacy they leave today. With individual maps to show the course of each river and over 100 colour photographs, it's essential browsing for any Londoner and the perfect gift for anyone who loves exploring the past... 'An amazing book' -- BBC Radio London 'Talling's highly visual, fact-packed, waffle-free account is the freshest take we've yet seen. A must-buy for anyone who enjoys the "hidden" side of London -- Londonist 'A fascinating and stylish guide to exploring the capital's forgotten brooks, waterways, canals and ditches ... it's a terrific book' - Walk 'Pocket-sized, beautifully designed, illustrated and informative - in short a joy to read, handle and use' -- ***** Reader review 'Delightful, informative and beautifully produced' -- ***** Reader review 'A small gem. A really great book. I can't put it down' -- ***** Reader review 'Fascinating from start to finish' -- ***** Reader review ************************************************************************************************ From the sources of the Fleet in Hampstead's ponds to the mouth of the Effra in Vauxhall, via the meander of the Westbourne through 'Knight's Bridge' and the Tyburn's curve along Marylebone Lane, London's Lost Rivers unearths the hidden waterways that flow beneath the streets of the capital. Paul Talling investigates how these rivers shaped the city - forming borough boundaries and transport networks, fashionable spas and stagnant slums - and how they all eventually gave way to railways, roads and sewers. Armed with his camera, he traces their routes and reveals their often overlooked remains: riverside pubs on the Old Kent Road, healing wells in King's Cross, 'stink pipes' in Hammersmith and gurgling gutters on streets across the city. Packed with maps and over 100 colour photographs, London's Lost Rivers uncovers the watery history of the city's most famous sights, bringing to life the very different London that lies beneath our feet.
