CAPTAIN DIEPPE (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Captain DieppeThe Captain whistled and sang. What a fright he had given the Ministers, how nearly he had brought back the Prince, what an uncommon and intimate satis faction Of soul came from carrying, under his wet coat, lists Of names, letters, and what not - all capable of causing tremors in high quarters, and Of revealing in spheres of activity hitherto unsuspected gentlemen - aye, and ladies - Of the lofti est position, all of whom (the Captain was piling up his causes Of self-congrat ulation) owed their present safety, and directed their present anxieties, to him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
