Excerpt from Kathleen Mavourneen What are the police coming here for this morn-t ing? She cries. It will not require a mounted guard to drive poor Pat from his cabin; and yet, surely, they are riding this way. I hear the clatter of their horses' feet But presently the sound of merry voices and gay laughter was borne towards her on the breeze, and as the riders approached she saw that they were not policemen, as she had supposed, but a cavalcade. Of ladies and gentlemen, followed by several dogs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
