Excerpt from The Black KnightA baby at one end of the long emigrant coach woke with a screech out of sleep, rousing an infant at the other end who answered it with a shrill whoop. The weary passengers stirred, the women sighing, the men cursing aloud. This wailed duet had rung in their ears, almost without intermission, for the last fifty hours.A deep voice boomed Aw, for God's sake, muzzle 'em! Another shouted for the conductor to put the disturbers off the train. Some Nova Scotian harvesters struck up Turkey in the Straw on an accordion in a fruitless attempt to drown the cries.The red-headed man who sat opposite Michael Thorley spat adroitly between his feet and addressed him for the first time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
