Excerpt from Lady Verners Flight "Never to be born at all is the best of all lots, and the second best is for a child to return as quickly as possible after his birth to the place from which he came." - Sophocles. "Cousin or no cousin, she has been the kindest friend I have ever had," says Kenrick, warmly, his young and kindly face lighting as he speaks. There is still a good deal of the boy about him. "And I say it is a shame that her life should be spoiled by such a beast as that Verner. Why, he - he isn't even decent." "It is horrible!" returns Lady Carysfort, tears in her handsome eyes. "But what I mean is, that you being her cousin and I her aunt, the world will regard us as prejudiced." "Who cares about the world?" says he, throwing up his head. Considering he is quite three-and-twenty, such astonishing valor is hardly to be expected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
