Excerpt from Jewel: A Chapter in Her Life Pretty scrumptious place he 's got here in this park, I notice, returned the new coachman. Yes, he has a breath of fresh air before he goes to the city and after he gets back every day. Is n't that Essex Maid of his a beauty? Mrs. Forbes cast her eyes toward the stalls where the shining flanks of two horses were visible from her seat by the wide-open doors of the barn. His rides back there among the hills, Mrs. Forbes waved her hand vaguely toward the tall trees waving in the spring sunshine, - are his one pleasure; and he never tires of them. You will find the horses here something different to groom from those common grocery horses in Boston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
