Excerpt from A Game of ChanceGlancing over the queer assortment of letters, and smiling on the writers' faces, she placed them tidily on one side. One small packet remained, a few letters tied together with ribbon, with no photo accompanying them. This was a little lot she speci ally valued, and she untied the ribbon with a sigh, to read again the letters of her first stranger corres pondent. The reason of his first letter was so strange that she had believed herself fated to some day meet the writer, but now she did not hope for that, for there had been a long silence, and she feared that the boy had joined his mates in one of the little cemeteries on the Western front. Three years had gone since that first strange letter had come to her home in Sydney. She was only a fiapper then, not quite sixteen, and the wound caused by her father's death, at Gallipoli, was fresh in her young heart.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
