WILLIAM BABINGTON MAXWELL English novelist (1866 - 1938)   CHECK READING LIST (1)   The village postmaster stood staring at an official envelope that had just been shaken out a mailbag upon the sorting table. It was addressed to himself; and for a few moments his heart beat quicker, with sharp, clean percussions, as if it were trying to imitate the sounds made by two clerks as they plied their stampers on the blocks. Perhaps this envelope contained his fate.       - The Devil's Garden (ch. 1)         [Books (First Lines)]   BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK   Last Revised: 2007 November 30 Copyright © 1999-2007 John C.
