Book excerpt: "[...] He held out both hands and looked so kindly and good that she smiled until dimples just like her mother's played over her cheeks and chin. Half sidewise she crept into his arms and held up the book. "Pleathe write your photograph in my book," she murmured. He took her very gently on his knee, chuckling vigorously, his heavy jaws shaking and coloring. "Who told you to come?" he inquired, with a guilty cunning twinkle in his gray eyes. "Mama told me," was the prompt answer. Again the man chuckled, and, between the shame he felt for having[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fortnight of Folly Viewing the large building from any favorable point in the valley, itlooked like a huge white b: rd sitting with outstretched wings on the gray rock far up against the tender blue sky. All around it the Forests were thick and green, the ravines deep and gloomy and the rocks tumbled into fantastic heaps. When you reached it, which was after a Whole day of hard zig-zag climbing, you found it a rather plain three-story house, whose broad verandas were worried with a mass ofjig-saw fancies and whose windows glared at you between wide Open green Venetian shutters. Everything look new, almost raw, from the stumps of fresh-cut trees on the lawn and the rope swings and long benches, upon which the paint was scarcely dry, to the resonant floor of the spacious halls and the cedar-fragrant hand-rail of the stairway. There were springs among the rocks. Here the water trickled out with a red gleam of iron oxide, there it sparkled with an excess of car bonic acid, and yonder it bubbled up all the more limpid and clear on account of the offen sive sulphuretted hydrogen it was bringing forth. Masses of fern, great cushions of cool moss and tangles of blooming shrubs and Vines fringed the sides of the little ravines down which the spring-streams sang their way to the silver thread of a river in the valley. It was altogether a dizzy perch, a strange, in convenient, out-of-the-way spot for a summer hotel. You reached it all out of breath, con fused as to the points of the compass and dis appointed, in every sense of the word, with What at first glance struck you as a colossal pretense, empty, raw, vulgar, loud a great trap into which you had been inveigled by an eloquent hand-bill! Hotel Helicon, as a name for the place, was considered a happy one. It had come to the proprietor, as if in a dream, one day as he sat smoking. He slapped his thigh with his hand and sprang to his feet. The word that went so smoothly with hotel, as he fancied, had no special meaning in his mind, for the gas man had never been guilty of classical lore study, but it furnished a taking alliteration.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Fortnight of Folly: Look inside the book: Not a very large acreage, it is true, but then it is all good land, for the most part such as auctioneers describe as rich, warm, deep, old pasture land; such land that, at the time this tale opens, any farmer, by thrift, knowledge of his business, and hard work, could make even more than a bare living out of, and could meet his landlord on rent day with a cheerful face, knowing that after rent and other outgoings were provided for something would yet be left for himself. ...The hour was at hand-the hour to which Miss Herbert had for two years looked forward with strangely mingled feelings-when her friends must be told that she intended to marry the young, and as yet unknown sculptor, Gerald Leigh, the son of her father's late tenant farmer, Abraham. About Maurice Thompson, the Author: He was drawn away from the field of law by the success of articles and short stories published in the New York Tribune, Atlantic Monthly, and Harper's Monthly. ...He followed it with a successful compilation of his published essays, The Witchery of Archery, which was well received for its wit and use of common language.

Book excerpt: The Hotel Helicon stood on a great rock promontory that jutted far out into a sea of air whose currents and eddies filled a wide, wild valley in the midst of our southern mountain region. It was a new hotel, built by a Cincinnati man who founded his fortune in natural gas speculations, and who had conceived the bright thought of making the house famous at the start by a stroke of rare liberality. Viewing the large building from any favorable point in the valley, it looked like a huge white bird sitting with outstretched wings on the gray rock far up against the tender blue sky. All around it the forests were thick and green, the ravines deep and gloomy and the rocks tumbled into fantastic heaps. When you reached it, which was after a whole day of hard zig-zag climbing, you found it a rather plain three-story house, whose broad verandas were worried with a mass of jig-saw fancies and whose windows glared at you between wide open green Venetian shutters. Everything look new, almost raw, from the stumps of fresh-cut trees on the lawn and the rope swings and long benches, upon which the paint was scarcely dry, to the resonant floor of the spacious halls and the cedar-fragrant hand-rail of the stairway.

Book excerpt: This romance novel begins by introducing us to a young Englishman who had just arrived in the iron and coal region of Alabama to take charge of extensive manufacturing and mining interests belonging to his family. During his hunting trip, he accidentally stumbled upon a young woman named Milly, who in his eyes is described as: "She had the grace of outline common to wild things, and there was that half-pathetic, half-glad beam in her face that appeals to a man's love of the innocent and his pity of the weak."
