DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Moth a Novel Mrs. Spencer is in the library," the butler told Cunningham, as he was relieved of his hat and cane; and with a familiarity which bespoke intimacy with the house and its inmates the caller immediately turned to the stairway leading to the second floor.

She is running us for fair today." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
