{"product_id":"2940011898556","title":"My Secret Life Volumes I. to III","description":"In 18-- my oldest friend died. We had been at school and college together, and our intimacy had never been broken. I was trustee for his wife and executor at his death. He died of a lingering illness, during which his hopes of living were alternately raised, and depressed. Two years before he died, he gave me a huge parcel carefully tied up and sealed. Take care of, but don't open this he said: if I get better, return it to me, if I die, let no mortal eye but yours see it, and burn it.\u003cbr\u003eHis widow died a year after him. I had well nigh forgoten this packet which I had had full three years, when looking for some title deeds I came cross it, and opened it, as it was my duty to do. Its contents astonished me. The more I read it, the more marvellous it seemed. I pondered long on the meaning of his instructions when he gave it to me, and kept the manuscript some years, hesitating what to do with it.","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145297936624,"sku":"2940011898556","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011898556_p0.jpg?v=1763551283","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011898556","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
