Excerpt from Squire Arden, Vol. 3 "How is Miss Pimpernel?" Arthur asked as he entered the house. He went in with a great appearance of anxiety and haste, and he repeated his question to a maid who was just preparing to ascend the stairs. The footman had given him no answer - a fact which he did not even observe, and the maid made him a little curtsey, and cast down her eyes, and looked confused and uncomfortable. "My mistress is coming, sir, " she said, and Arthur, looking up, saw that Mrs. Pimpernel herself was advancing to meet him. He saw at the first glance that there was to be war, and war to the knife, and that conciliation was impossible. "How is Miss Pimpernel?" he asked, taking the first word. "I was so glad to see she was able to move at once, but I fear she must have been much shaken, at least." Mrs. Pimpernel came downstairs upon him before she made any answer. She bore down like a conquering ship or a charge of cavalry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
