Book Description
Excerpt from A Rich Man's Relatives, Vol. 2 of 3 Along the dusty road came sounds of wheels, the wheels of the Misses Stanleys' home-going guests. The sound spread far and wide across the humid air which sublimated it into something above the common daylight noise, rasping and jarring against stones and gravel, into a rumbling half musical with sug gestive echoes reverberating through the stillness. Out of the gate they came, those vehicles, along the road, around the corner where Bruneau's cottage stood, and down towards the village shrouded in gathering obscurity, with the twinkle of a candle scattered through it here and there in rivalry Of the fire - flies in the bushes nearer hand, but far less brilliant. The vehicles rumbled and disappeared, and the echoes Of their wheels died out as rip ples die on the surface Of a stagnant pool; and the road was left alone to night and silence.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Rich Man's Relatives (Vol. 1 of 3): Look inside the book: The flatness with which her hair was laid upon her temples, and then drawn back tightly without wave or pad to the apex of her head, and secured in the form of an onion, left no doubt as to the seriousness of Miss Judith's mind, while the severe ungracefulness of her dress argued an ascetic tendency of that aggressive kind which says, 'Brother, I would fast, therefore you shall go without your dinner'--a person tiresome rather than bad, but with the long chin of that obstinacy which can be so provoking when the understanding and imagination are too narrow to perceive the true relation of things. ...When he came down first I invited him to come and see me, and treated him in all respects as I would any other gentleman, your friend; but I am bound to own that lately we have not met;' and he gave the waxed points of his moustache a further twirl with something of an aggrieved air, as if to intimate that while he had done his part unimpeachably, he had reason to complain of the way in which his advances had been met. ...'I think a mighty deal of the lady, sir; and would be fain to repeat my offer, even if she were as much without fortune as she believed herself to be last night; but I do not see my way to doing so after what has passed between us, the more so that now my fortune--a mighty neat one though it be--will count for less than before, seeing she knows now how well you have provided for her.'

Book Description
Excerpt from Rich Man's Relatives, Vol. 3 of 3 Ralph's satisfaction at carrying through his man uvre with the mining company's directors amounted almost to elation. The unexpected appearance of opposition in that docile body had startled him at first, but he had been able to ride it down in so summary and highhanded a fashion that he doubted not but the spirit was quenched for ever, and congratulated himself on its having appeared at a moment when it could so easily and utterly be crushed and abolished. A meeting of the bank directors next door was now due. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
