Excerpt from The Tsar's Window The waiter comes in to know what we will order for dinner. He looks at us as if he wished to say, Poor creatures, how sorry I am for you! After all, it is not your fault that you were not born British subjects. Why did it occur to Grace that she would like to spend a winter in St. Petersburg? Why should she have cared about getting acquainted with our Russian kinsman? Why did Tom make that investment which gave him the money for this trip? Above all, what evil genius whispered to me that it would be pleasant to accompany them? To these questions I can find no answer, and I am going to drown my sorrows in crum pets and tea. Those articles, at least, are good here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
