be no doubt of that shape. . . . The fire fluffed down
into darkness. We began to shiver in the chill air,
and I put my arm round Pelagueya, and she stopped
shivering and turned her face, a dim, sweet face to
thank me. Then :
“We’ll all die of pneumonia if we remain here.
And your tents are too uncomfortable after such a
night. And you’ve no electric light with which to
examine the Thing. The three of you must bring it
over to my house and must stop to breakfast.”
. Hu^bsch slung the object under his armpit, turn-
ing his great, slow head upon his temporary secre¬
tary.
“That’ll be fine. Princess,” he agreed.

| Description | Sixteen books written by Lewis Grassic Gibbon (1901-1935), regarded as the most important Scottish prose writer of the early 20th century. All were published in the last seven years of his life, mostly under his real name, James Leslie Mitchell. They include two works of science fiction, non-fiction works on exploration, short stories set in Egypt, a novel about Spartacus, and the classic 'Scots Quair' trilogy which includes 'Sunset Song'. Mitchell's first book 'Hanno, or the future of exploration' (1928) is rare and has never been republished. |
