Excerpt from The Wood-Carver of 'LympusMountains, with now and then a galloping spurt on the short levels. The Hornet, yellow-bodied, banded with black, was empty save for a heterogeneous col lection of bags, boxes, and packages piled higgledy piggledy on the ¿oor and seats. Several plethoric sacks of burlap leaned their top-heavy weight against the old-fashioned back-strap of the middle seat, and lurched and lunged with the chop-sea motion of the lumbering vehicle, but always righted themselves at the critical moment of unstable equilibrium.It was so late in the season, and the passengers so rare, that the outside seats - that vantage ground for travellers had been removed and the space filled with freight, among which were two crates of Rhode Island Red pullets, a woven-wire cot of peculiar con struction, and a newly weaned pig in a grocery box.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
