Excerpt from A Reluctant AdamStrong's earliest memory was not of his birthplace, a sleepy town by the sea. It was a memory of an inland village sunning itself in recollection of stage coaches that filled its streets with ¿ourishes of the horn before the railroad came. After that most strangers beheld Lyme only from a car window. Its public monuments were a court-house and a jail.The tarnished glory of good families going to seed, presumption of the prosperous grocer, who was also the undertaker, the affable condescension of a politi eian once sent to the legislature, windy rhetoric of a blacksmith always shouting against the ring, these and kindred interests had once bulked large in Strong's mind, fragmentarily they came again.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
