Excerpt from Shilrick, the Drummer, or Loyal and True, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of the Irish Rebellion of 1798A small white, fairy-like boat was anchored at the foot of the terrace steps, and rocked gently to and fro on the calm water.All the surroundings of the fair landscape betokened the wealth and the taste of the owner, and showed the loving care that must have been bestowed on house and land.On a quiet, still night in early Spring, near the close of the last century, the beauty of the scene was yet more enhanced by the clear, bright rays of a glorious moonlight.There was scarcely a breath of air to stir the leaves of the tall, stately trees, growing on the shores of the lake, seeming to guard, like sentinels, the deep, still waters, the branches casting weird, fantastic shadows on all around.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
