Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Rock
Now, Old Trader Hume was dead and buried, and his nephew, Francis Hume, was alone in the old man's room, the room of a hunter filled with trophies of the chase.
The young man was bending forward, one hand supporting his head, while the other, dangling listlessly, held a sheet of paper. Long he remained so, his eyes absently fixed on the point of a curved rhinoceros' horn, then leant back in the chair and read the contents, setting forth the last will of his uncle.
