Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Reproach of Annesley, Vol. 2

He bestowed various inward maledictions upon Continental railways as he journeyed on, and wondered how such a blessing as steam came to be bestowed upon a people so in appreciative Of the Speed to be got out Of it. But the swiftest English express would have been slow in comparison with the winged desires which bore his heart onwards to the goal of Alice Lingard's presence. The three months' embargo was now taken Off and Paul was not yet engaged to Alice; Edward was therefore free to prosecute his own suit.

Excerpt from The Reproach of Annesley, Vol. 2

It is beautiful to be on the line of rail which runs along the Jura; the mountain rises sheer on one side and the steep falls suddenly away on the other, while the traveller is borne with bird-like swiftness and directness along the hillside, secure, without effort, straight to an apparent block which hinders further progress. But a closer view shows a black spot in the rocky mass, tiny as the nest of some sea-bird on a cliff; it grows as the distance lessens, till it becomes a dark arch, and into that darts the train with angry thunder and impatient panting, and there is blackness all round, and thick air, and a vague distress of body and mind for awhile.
