Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mr. Tuckerman's Nieces
Mr. Tuckerman tried to behave as if nothing remark able had happened to him that day. He went home at the customary hour, but he fitted his key into the lock with a graver care than usual, selected with more judg ment the peg on which he hung his hat, and, entering his library, made elaborate preparations for reading. Not a sound had greeted his entrance into his house. On other days he took cheerful note of the stillness it marked the regularity and calm with which his life was ordered. Mr. Tuckerman particularly disliked the clamor and excitement of arrivals and departures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
