Excerpt from The Last Mile And then: "Sure enough! Good ole American lighthouse! Thank God, Lafayette, we are here!" Unmistakably now the far-off twinkling light showed on the black horizon. Kingsley straightened up and squeezed Broadhurst's arm with an unexpectedly friendly pressure. "I think I'll go to every war we have after this," he exclaimed. "Why is that?" asked Broadhurst. "Haven't you had enough of this one?" "I'll say so! But the thrill of getting home again makes up for it all! Well, now that the war is over, I suppose I might as well catch a little sleep. We've got to get up early." "Right-o," said Broadhurst, "but I think I'll stick around a little longer. See you later." It was worth while, Broadhurst reflected as Kingsley went away in the darkness. To see a shoreline again, even after an ordinary voyage, was a matter of moment. It meant returning to a world that measured some 24,000 miles in circumference instead of a few hundred feet in length. And here, just ahead, were the flickering happy lights of home - he was coming back from France and from the war, after many months of uncertainty. Back to sunlight and peace, and all the old habits of life and all the old friendships. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
