Excerpt from Children of Passage Mrs. Manning looked out of the Window and shivered mentally. The afternoon was settling down for a steady night of rain, which, so the Scotsman averred, would be of the greatest possible benefit to the crops. There were banks of low hanging clouds over the rolling moor land, and towards the north, where the slopes of Lower Calder loomed darkly, the mist was creeping towards the valley. Inside and out brooded an absolute stillness that appalled Mrs. Manning. It frightened her. Small, halt ing for a moment at the window, raised stricken May fair eyes, and pursed his thin lips. He had done What he could with cushions, flowers, oddments, but he was not up to this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
