Excerpt from Ransom!He had wanted to sail on a White Star liner, he had wanted to land in New York seven days from now. It was a nuisance that one couldn't do exactly as one wanted. He had not intended to spend a night in Paris, he resented savagely the railway accident that interfered with his intentions.The little dancer who had so frankly forced her acquaintance upon him and as frankly left him, circled, with her more complaisant friend, close to Waring's table. She lifted one shoul der in affected fright at him. Waring knew that he had been scowling, and at the girl's mockery he grinned infectiously. The dancer felt sorry that she had so early decided that Waring was uninteresting, the grin justified her first opinion: that blue-eyed, red-haired men are by no means dull.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
