Book Description
Excerpt from New Grub Street a Novel, Vol. 1 of 3 As the Milvains sat down to breakfast the clock of Wattleborough parish church struck eight; it was two miles away, but the strokes were borne very distinctly on the west wind this autumn morning. Jasper, listening before he cracked an egg, remarked with cheerfulness: 'There's a man being hanged in London at this moment.' 'Surely it isn't necessary to let us know that, ' said his sister Maud, coldly. 'And in such a tone, too ' protested his sister Dora. 'Who is it?' inquired Mrs. Milvain, looking at her son with pained forehead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
