Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portia, or 'by Passions Rocked' The gates are thrown wide open, and the carriage rolls smoothly down the long dark avenue, beneath the waving branches of the tall elms and the copper beeches, through which the dying sun is flinging its parting rays. The horses, sniffing the air of home, fling up their heads and make still greater haste, until presently, rounding the curve, they draw up before the hall door. It stands open, and on the high, stone steps that lead to it, a very pretty girl looks down upon the carriage from under her palm, with a face eager and expectant. When she has barely glanced at it, she says, Ah in a tone of deep satisfaction, and running down the steps, and over the gravel, turns the handle of the carriage door and looks anxiously at its occupant. You have come, ' she says cheerily, I was so afraid something might have prevented you.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
