Excerpt from The End of the BeginningNobody ever put any ¿owers on the crum bling yellow marble of the Bexley memorial, or took the time to try to spell the letters of the inset metal tablet that commemorated the alleged virtues of Anthony, armiger, and Priscilla his wife. But the slab, resting table wise on four carved pillars of not impossible height, was a favorite place for Amoret to play tea. One of the legs, to be sure, was suspiciously insecure, seeming to hang from the top rather than to support from beneath, and ever since a woodchuck and a subsequent rainstorm had visibly burrowed into the mys teries below, Amoret had not been untouched by occasional ideas of mortal collapse and confusion at her little banquets.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
