Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Castle by the Sea
Perhaps, after all, it was mere banality, but I believe it did rivet the bargain. And here I was with the Castle on my hands, and the Norroy ghost, if so be tradition spoke correctly. Why, I had forgotten to ask Mrs. Jackman about it! Never mind, the fire soothed, and the tobacco also. I did not want to move. My eyes fell again on the book I had not read, and I remembered something else that the red - headed clerk had mentioned, a fine library and picture-gallery. It had slipped my memory.
Jackman entered at the moment to inquire if I needed anything more that night, and I tackled him.
