Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reveries of a Spinster I was coming home as usual the other evening through the rain, which had turned to sleet, and the sharp wind, which with cruel malevolence, was searching out the thin worn places in my shabby old coat. My shoes were torn, so that the dampness penetrated them, and through a hole in my umbrella a stream of water trickled, and glued my veil to my face.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spinster "We can yet learn even from the old dwellers in Indian forests; not the lesson of cold indifference, but the lesson of viewing objectively, as being in it, yet not of it, the life which surrounds us in the market-place; the lesson of toleration, of human sympathy, of pity, as it was called in Sanskrit, of love, as we call it in English, though seldom conscious of the unfathomable depth of that sacred word. Though living in the forum, and not in the forest, we may yet learn to agree to differ with our neighbour, to love those who hate us on account of our religious convictions, or, at all events, unlearn to hate and persecute those whose own convictions, whose hopes and fears, nay, even whose moral principles, differ from our own. That, too, is forest life, a life worthy of a true forest sage, of a man who knows what man is, what life is, and who has learnt to keep silence in the presence of the Eternal and the Infinite." - Max Muller.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Engagement: A Spinster's Story The sneaking heroism of young Edwards, and the stubborn ignorance of the pretty Miss Willis, all satires on modern manners and edu cation, are by the way admirably introduced, giving variety and scope to the picture. And while the wily widow allures, the Colonel hesi tates, the parson yields, Miss Vaughan distrusts, and Mrs. Grove frets, we laugh at the piquant thrusts of the jolly Doctor Grove, and acknow ledge the strong good sense of Miss Brooke, who so vividly tells the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frederica Dennison Spinster Therefore I hereby retrace my steps with more haste than dignity to make the following explanations. First, that the aforementioned journal is my safety-valve - the escape for over-charged emotions, whether amusing or heart-rendering. (this quotation is from my vis-h-vis at table downstairs, and makes one wonder if her ancestors were lard-makers.) At home, on Jupiter, my family receives the overflow of my exuberance and from long habit, sheds it undisturbedly, as Tildy's Pekin ducks shed water. Here, on Mars, there is no one in whom I may confide - no kindred heart that beats as one. SO a journal is the answer.

If a tin-type is good evidence, I most surely did, I was given the name of Mary without my knowledge or consent, but at home I was never nick-named Polly. I had other names in plenty, but that I never heard. I reckon it had been tried on me before I could answer to it, and met with a just reward.

Download or read book The Merry Spinster written by Daniel M. Lavery and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Mallory Ortberg comes a collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales. Adapted from the beloved "Children's Stories Made Horrific" series, "The Merry Spinster" takes up the trademark wit that endeared Ortberg to readers of both The Toast and the best-selling debut Texts From Jane Eyre. The feature has become among the most popular on the site, with each entry bringing in tens of thousands of views, as the stories proved a perfect vehicle for Ortberg's eye for deconstruction and destabilization. Sinister and inviting, familiar and alien all at the same time, The Merry Spinster updates traditional children's stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror, emotional clarity, and a keen sense of feminist mischief. Readers of The Toast will instantly recognize Ortberg's boisterous good humor and uber-nerd swagger: those new to Ortberg's oeuvre will delight in this collection's unique spin on fiction, where something a bit mischievous and unsettling is always at work just beneath the surface. Unfalteringly faithful to its beloved source material, The Merry Spinster also illuminates the unsuspected, and frequently, alarming emotional complexities at play in the stories we tell ourselves, and each other, as we tuck ourselves in for the night. Bed time will never be the same.

Who would imagine that Miss Mole had pictured herself, at different times, as an explorer in strange lands, as a lady wrapped in luxury and delicate garments?' Miss Hannah Mole has for twenty years earned her living precariously as a governess or companion to a succession of difficult old women.Now, aged forty, a thin and shabby figure, she returns to Radstowe, the lovely city of her youth. Here she is, if not exactly welcomed, at least employed as housekeeper by the pompous Reverend Robert Corder, whose daughters are sorely in need of guidance. But even the dreariest situation can be transformed into an adventure by the indomitable Miss Mole. Blessed with imagination, wit and intelligence, she wins the affection of Ethel and her nervous sister Ruth. But her past holds a secret that, if brought to life, would jeopardise everything.
