A Fatal Silence, Vol. 1 (Of 3)
Excerpt from A Fatal Silence, Vol. 1 of 3 Market day at Haltham, and the primitive little town in an uproar. Huge oxen, with shaggy coats and wide-spreading horns, were being driven along the road, and floundering in their dismay against any luckless passenger that crossed their path. Meek sheep, with their lambs trotting by their side and all baa-ing in concert, followed after, whilst ducks and geese quacked and hissed, and the ploughboys and farming maidens shouted at each other with scarcely less discordant noise. Miss Stafford was glad to be above it all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
