It is an adventure book. Between the smoke-darkened walls of the mountain cabin still murmured the last echoes of the pistol's bellowing, and it seemed a voice of everlasting duration to the shock-sickened nerves of those within. First it had thundered with the deafening exaggeration of confined space, then its echo had beaten against the clay-chink wall timbers and rolled upward to the rafters. Now, dwindled to a ghostly whisper, it lingered and persisted. But the house stood isolated, and outside the laurelled forests and porous cliffs soaked up the dissonance as a blotter soaks ink.

The Following Diary Was Originally Written In Lead-Pencil And In A Book The Leaves Of Which Were Too Soft To Take Ink Legibly. I Have It Direct From The Hands Of Its Writer, A Lady Whom I Have Had The Honor To Know For Nearly Thirty Years. For Good Reasons The Author's Name Is Omitted, And The Initials Of People And The Names Of Places Are Sometimes Fictitiously Given. Many Of The Persons Mentioned Were My Own Acquaintances And Friends. When, Some Twenty Years Afterward, She First Resolved To Publish It, She Brought Me A Clear, Complete Copy In Ink. It Had Cost Much Trouble, She Said; For Much Of The Pencil Writing Had Been Made Under Such Disadvantages And Was So Faint That At Times She Could Decipher It Only Under Direct Sunlight. She Had Succeeded, However, In Making A Copy, _Verbatim_ Except For Occasional Improvement In The Grammatical Form Of A Sentence, Or Now And Then The Omission, For Brevity's Sake, Of Something Unessential. The Narrative Has Since Been Severely Abridged To Bring It Within Magazine Limits. [mehr]

I, Hubert of Hastings, write this in the land of Tavantinsuyu, far from England, where I was born, whither I shall never more return, being a wanderer as the rune upon the sword of my ancestor, Thorgrimmer, foretold that I should be, which sword my mother gave me on the day of the burning of Hastings by the French. I write it with a pen that I have shaped from a wing feather of the great eagle of the mountains, with ink that I have made from the juices of certain herbs which I discovered, and on parchment that I have split from the skins of native sheep, with my own hands, but badly I fear, though I have seen that art practised when I was a merchant of the Cheap in London Town.

Thus End I This Book, Which I Have Translated After Mine Author As Nigh As God Hath Given Me Cunning, To Whom Be Given The Laud And Praising. And For As Much As In The Writing Of The Same My Pen Is Worn, My Hand Weary And Not Steadfast, Mine Eyne Dimmed With Overmuch Looking On The White Paper, And My Courage Not So Prone And Ready To Labour As It Hath Been, And That Age Creepeth On Me Daily And Feebleth All The Body, And Also Because I Have Promised To Divers Gentlemen And To My Friends To Address To Them As Hastily As I Might This Said Book, Therefore I Have Practised And Learned At My Great Charge And Dispense To Ordain This Said Book In Print, After The Manner And Form As Ye May Here See, And Is Not Written With Pen And Ink As Other Books Be, To The End That Every Man May Have Them At Once.

"Where Shall I Sign My Name?" Veronica Serra's Thin, Dark Fingers Rolled The Old Silver Penholder Nervously As She Sat At One End Of The Long Library Table, Looking Up At The Short, Stout Man Who Stood Beside Her. "Here, If You Please, Excellency," Answered Lamberto Squarci, With An Affable Smile. His Fingers Were Dark, Too, But Not Thin, And They Were Smooth And Dingy And Very Pointed, A Fact Which The Young Princess Noticed With Dislike, As He Indicated The Spot On The Broad Sheet Of Rough, Hand-Made Paper, Where He Wished Her To Sign. A Thrill Of Repulsion That Was Strong Enough To Be Painful Ran Through Her, And She Rolled The Penholder Still More Quickly And Nervously, So That She Almost Dropped It, And A Little Blot Of Ink Fell Upon The Sheet Before She Had Begun To Write.

Alfred Henry Forrester (10 September 1804 – 26 May 1872) was an author, illustrator and artist, who was also known under the pseudonym of Alfred Crowquill.[1] Alfred Forrester was the son of Robert Forrester of 5 North Gate, Royal Exchange, London, a public notary. He discovered an aptitude for literary and artistic pursuits from an early age, and was soon associated with writing for periodical publications, including Colburn's New Monthly, Bentley, and Punch magazine. He often wrote short tales, songs, children's stories, and occasional burlesques. He could also draw and worked on wood, etchings and caricatures using pen and ink, specialising in anthropomorphic animals, occasionally illustrating stories for his brother Charles Robert Forrester (1803–1850) who wrote under the pseudonym of Hal Willis. He also made several popular ceramics of contemporary subjects, including a "Memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851" and a statuette of Wellington Bear. He was buried at West Norwood Cemetery.
