Excerpt from The Mill Wheel, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel There's the very duck, or one just like it, that wended her way among the rushes years ago, followed by the pretty yellow bid-bids. Quack! Quack! Cries the mother, and Off they all waddle along the bank, intent on catching flies. And I lean on the rail Of the Old mill and watch the wheel that turns for ever. Oh, life! If one could only step on One side and watch the stream rush by, how much we should learn! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
