Excerpt from Cyparissus a Romance of the Isles of GreeceAndros, the capital of the Greek island of the same name, had just waked from its slumber. Women of the poorer class of citizens and female slaves were hurrying to the fountains, fishing boats with swelling sails were putting out to sea, in order to return before the heat of the day began, heavily laden porters were climbing across the planks of the merchant-ships, sail ors who had scarcely dipped their bread in Pramnian wine, still chewing their onions, were scrubbing the han dles of the oars, mending the rigging, or toiling at the Windlass.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
