Book Description

Excerpt from The King of Alberia a Romance of the Balkans Through a shut door a sound pierced, a brief acute faint cry. The silence was startled by a nearer groan of answering agony. Against the shut door leaned a man, hardly distinguishable from the shadow; he grasped the handle which he dared not turn, and, like a victim waiting for the next wrench of the rack, stood listening.
