Excerpt from His Rise to PowerHastily undressing, he plunged into the green depths from which June had not quite taken the chill of spring. His lithe, strong body responded to the shock, the nerves, harried by the long night watch, relaxed, he shouted lustily. For a few minutes he swam vigorously, diving and turning somersaults, frolicsome as a school-boy, reveling in his strength and skill, then he turned on his back and ¿oated with the lazy current until little shivers began to ripple over him. Reaching the shore, he took the towel and rubbed himself into a glow. He tingled with a sense of well-being.When he was dressed again, refreshed and eager for his day, he took the path back to the highway. The sun was climbing over the hills. He stopped and watched it while it swung clear in the sky, gleaming a fiery red through the mists of the valley. A gentle breeze sprang up and sent the gray vapor streaming and billowing away into nothingness. The red of the sun became the hot, white blaze of molten iron. The glory of the morning was complete.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
