Excerpt from QuixstarAcross a foot-bridge from the town there stood a small building known as The Cottage. One morning it was told throughout Quixstar that the Cottage had changed owners - had been sold to a Mr. Sinclair. Did any one know Mr. Sinclair? Who was be, what was he, where did he come from? Ere long, by putting little bits of information together, answers to these questions leaked out. He came from Ironburgh, he was a merchant, he was wealthy. This so far allayed the public hunger for a time. Then it was seen that the Cottage was undergoing a metamorphosis, from an hum ble one-storied building it was spreading out below, and rising above, to a size fitted, as advertisements say, to accommodate a genteel family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
