Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Humble Romance, and Other Stories She was stooping over the great kitchen sink, washing the breakfast dishes. Under fostering circumstances, her slenderness of build might have resulted in delicacy or daintiness; now the harmony between strength and task had been repeatedly broken, and the result was ugliness. Her finger joints and wrist bones were knotty and out of proportion, her elbows, which her rolled-up sleeves dis played, were pointed and knobby, her shoulders bent, her feet spread beyond their natural bounds - from head to foot she was a little discordant note. She had a pale, peaked face, her scanty fair hair was strained tightly back, and twisted into a tiny knot, and her expression was at once passive and eager. There came a ringing knock at the kitchen door, and a face of another description, large, strong-featured, and assured, peered out of the pantry, which was over against the sink. "Who is it, Sally?" "I don' know, Mis' King." "Well, go to the door, can't you, an' not stan' thar gapin'. I can't; my hands are in the butter." Sally shook the dish-water off her red, sodden fingers, and shuffled to the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Young Lucretia and Other Stories: Large Print By Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman "Who's that little gal goin' by?" said old Mrs. Emmons. "That-why, that's young Lucretia, mother," replied her daughter Ann, peering out of the window over her mother's shoulder. There was a fringe of flowering geraniums in the window; the two women had to stretch their heads over them. "Poor little soul!" old Mrs. Emmons remarked further. "I pity that child." "I don't see much to pity her for," Ann returned, in a voice high-pitched and sharply sweet; she was the soprano singer in the village choir. "I don't see why she isn't taken care of as well as most children." "Well, I don't know but she's took care of, but I guess she don't get much coddlin'. Lucretia an' Maria ain't that kind-never was. I heerd the other day they was goin' to have a Christmas-tree down to the school-house. Now I'd be will-in' to ventur' consider'ble that child don't have a thing on't." "Well, if she's kept clean an' whole, an' made to behave, it amounts to a good deal more'n Christmas presents, I suppose." Ann sat down and turned a hem with vigor: she was a dress-maker. "Well, I s'pose it does, but it kinder seems as if that little gal ought to have somethin'. Do you remember them little rag babies I used to make for you, Ann? I s'pose she'd be terrible tickled with one. Some of that blue thibet would be jest the thing to make it a dress of."

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dolliver Romance, and Other Pieces It may have wrought effect upon me, thought the doctor, shaking his head as he lifted it again from the pillow. It may be so for poor Edward oftentimes instilled a strange efficacy into his perilous drugs. But I will rather believe it to be the Operation of God's mercy, which may have temporarily invigorated my feeble age for little Pansie's sake. A twinge of his familiar rheumatism, as he put his foot out of bed, taught him that he must not reckon too con fidently upon even a day's respite from the intrusive family of aches and infirmities, which, with their prover bial fidelity to attachments once formed, had long been the closest acquaintances that the poor old gentleman had in the world. Nevertheless, he fancied the twinge a little less poignant than those of yesterday; and moreover, after stinging him pretty smartly, it passed gradually off with a thrill, which, in its latter stages, grew to be almost agreeable. Pain is but pleasure too strongly emphasized. With cautious moyements, and only a groan or two, the good Doctor transferred himself from the bed to the floor, where he stood awhile, gazing from one piece of quaint furniture to another (such as stiff - backed Mayflower chairs, an oaken chest-of - drawers carved cunningly with shapes of animals and wreaths of foliage, a table with multitudinous legs, a family record in faded embroidery, a shelf of black-bound books, a dirty heap of gallipots and phials in a dim corner), - gazing at these things, and steadying himself by the bedpost, while his inert brain, still partially benumbed with sleep, came slowly into accordance with the realities about him. The object which most helped to bring Dr. Dolliver completely to his waking perceptions was one that common observers might suppose to have been snatched bodily out of his dreams. The same sunbeam that had dazzled the doctor between the bed-curtains gleamed on the weather-beaten gilding which had once adorned this mysterious symbol, and showed it to be an enormous serpent, twining round a wooden post, and reaching quite from the floor of the chamber to its ceiling.
