Book Description
Excerpt from The Fall of Kilman Kon Take a last long look, George, you may as well; the steamer is just appearing round the bend; it will be here presently to carry away your fair unknown, perhaps to the other end of the world.

Sunburnt and well whiskered, there was the suggestion of robust health and abundant animal spirits; virility and courage seemed to be to an eminent degree and above all, a nature at peace with his surroundings and with himself. Although there appeared to be a probability that this one had seen a goodly part of the things of this world most likely to excite interest, and had allowed few of its enjoyments to escape him.
