Excerpt from The Uncharted IslandSo they could speak to each other in their ordinary tones without fear. Still, though they had skulked a rather enticing river expedition expressly to talk over a very serious matter, they did not appear to be making the most of their opportunity, for any passing crow or schoolmaster would have suspected them of nothing worse than lazily sleeping away time that might be better spent. They had come to talk, yet they had lain speechless for nearly half an hour. The fact is that repentance of the best kind is silent work, and Ned and Tony were busy repenting.Their repentance was just a day old. This was F riday, and they repented that on yesterday's half holiday they had gone to the Crossroads, for if they had not gone to the Crossroads, they would not have been tempted to dare each other to enter the bar of the Cross Keys.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
