Excerpt from Lakewood: A Story of to-DayA huge log fire was burning on the hearth of the Lakewood station. A short, thick-set man of cheerful aspect occupied a settee near the fire. His gaze was fixed on a window looking up the track. The train from New York was late.A motley array of vehicles made a semicircle around the station, which could have been mis taken for a stone church or a lodge, were it not for the wide platforms and the straight tracks run ning north and south.A foreign-looking woman in voluminous fur wraps strode up and down the front platform. Young men with canes and in fur caps were also outside in considerable force. Every one and every thing wore the delightful coming and going air marking a fashionable resort.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
