Excerpt from Adam Johnstone's Son, Vol. 26Every woman knows the calendar of. Her own face. The lines are years, one for such and such a year, one for such and such another, the streaks are months, perhaps, or weeks, or some times hours, where the tear-storms have bleached the brown, the black, or the gold. This little wrinkle it was so very little then 1 she says. It came when I doubted for a day. There is a shadow there, just at each temple, where the cloud passed, when my sun went out. The bright hair grew lower on my forehead. It is worn away, as though by a crown, that was not of gold. There are hollows there, near the ears, on each side, since that week when love was done to death before my eyes and died - intes tate leaving his substance to be divided amongst indifferent heirs. They wrangle for what he has left, but he himself is gone, beyond hearing or caring, and, thank God, beyond suf fering. But the marks are left.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
