Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vignettes: Stories
The snow and the sleet blew in sharp gusts round the street corners; the sky was dark and cloudy; the wind cut keen as a knife, and found out with malicious cunning every broken window-pane in the wretched houses of the crowded city, every bare and dilapidated attic, every shivering form scantily clothed and worse fed, that made its miserable unit among miserable millions. How cold it was this bitter winter night! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
