Excerpt from Far Above Rubies, Vol. 3 of 3: A NovelWhat should he do? Lookmg back over the events of the previous twelve months, Squire Dudley lamented his own cre'dulity and anathematized Mr. Black. He did not regret joining the Protector, or accepting the secretaryship, or leaving Berrie Down, 0 but he hit his nails and drummed upon the table, and then, rising, kicked his chair over, and walked up and down the room, while he called himself all the names imaginable for having accepted bills and spent money, and bought the house in Lincoln's Inn Fields.He had been eager to buy that house the moment Mr. Black said it was in the market. He would scarcely take time to look over the premises before closing with the owner, so fearful was he of another purchaser forestalling' him, but he forgot all this now, and worked himself up into the belief that the promoter had given him no rest till the deposit was paid and the deeds were signed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
