Book excerpt: "The Fire was Kind"The little house was waiting, as it had waited for many years. Grey and weather-worn, itleaned toward the sheltering hillside as though to gather from the kindly earth somesupport and comfort for old age. Five-and-twenty Winters had broken its spirit, five-andtwenty Springs had not brought back the heart of it, that had once gone out, with dancingfeet and singing, and had returned no more.For a quarter of a century, the garden had lain desolate. Summers came and went, but onlya few straggling blooms made their way above the mass of weeds. In early Autumn, thistlesand milkweed took possession of the place, the mournful purple of their flowering hidingthe garden beneath trappings of woe. And at night, when the Autumn moon shone dimly, frail ghosts of dead flowers were set free from the thistles and milkweed. The wind ofIndian Summer, itself a ghost, convoyed them about the garden, but they never wentbeyond it. Each year the panoply of purple spread farther, more surely hiding the braveblooms beneath.Far down the path, beside the broken gate, a majestic cypress cast portentous gloom.Across from it, and quite hiding the ruin of the gate, was a rose-bush, which, every June, putforth one perfect white rose. Love had come through the gate and Love had gone out again, but this one flower was left behind.Brambles grew about the doorstep, and the hinges of the door were deep in rust. Nofriendly light gleamed at night from the lattice, a beacon to the wayfarer or a message ofcheer to the disheartened, since the little house was alone. The secret spinners had hung adrapery of cobwebs before the desolate windows, as though to veil the loneliness frompassers-by. No fire warmed the solitary hearth, no gay and careless laughter betrayed thesleeping echoes into answer. Within the house were only dreams, which never had cometrue.

Samantha Spinner's uncle Paul disappeared, and here's what he left: * Samantha's sister got a check for $2,400,000,000. * Samantha's brother got the New York Yankees. * And Samantha got a rusty red umbrella with a tag hanging off its worn handle. The tag says "Watch out for the RAIN." Thanks a lot, Uncle Paul. After all the strawberry waffles, stories, and puzzles they've shared, how could he just leave without saying goodbye? And what is the meaning of that mysterious message? The answer is simple. Sam knows in her heart that Uncle Paul is in danger.

Download or read book The Master s Violin written by Myrtle Reed and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1904 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myrtle Reed's classic novel is not simply a romantic story, but a celebration of life, love and the exquisiteness of music. The story involves a virtuoso violin player living in Lancaster, whose house is kept by his spinster sister. In a different neighborhood of town, an elderly lady who adopted and raised a young girl is surprised when her relatives- a widow and her son - arrive unannounced and wish to stay. The son, being musically talented, aspires to take up tutorage with the famous violinist of Lancaster. Thus begins an awkward situation that serves as a gauntlet for the passionate story which follows. Notably for a book of this genre, The Master's Violin contains many musings on the nature and value of family, music, parenthood, friendship and life. The reflective and thoughtful narration, along with the poignant descriptions of the master's performances, makes this a unique and memorable story. The author was among the most famous and appreciated novelists of her time. Unusually for a romance author, Reed also published a series of successful cookbooks. Though her fame declined in the years following her death in 1911 at the age of only 36, her books have maintained an appreciative audience into the 21st century.

Download or read book Spin written by Robert Charles Wilson and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Axis and Vortex, the first Hugo Award-winning novel in the environmental apocalyptic Spin Trilogy... One night in October when he was ten years old, Tyler Dupree stood in his back yard and watched the stars go out. They all flared into brilliance at once, then disappeared, replaced by a flat, empty black barrier. He and his best friends, Jason and Diane Lawton, had seen what became known as the Big Blackout. It would shape their lives. The effect is worldwide. The sun is now a featureless disk--a heat source, rather than an astronomical object. The moon is gone, but tides remain. Not only have the world's artificial satellites fallen out of orbit, their recovered remains are pitted and aged, as though they'd been in space far longer than their known lifespans. As Tyler, Jason, and Diane grow up, space probe reveals a bizarre truth: The barrier is artificial, generated by huge alien artifacts. Time is passing faster outside the barrier than inside--more than a hundred million years per day on Earth. At this rate, the death throes of the sun are only about forty years in our future. Jason, now a promising young scientist, devotes his life to working against this slow-moving apocalypse. Diane throws herself into hedonism, marrying a sinister cult leader who's forged a new religion out of the fears of the masses. Earth sends terraforming machines to Mars to let the onrush of time do its work, turning the planet green. Next they send humans...and immediately get back an emissary with thousands of years of stories to tell about the settling of Mars. Then Earth's probes reveal that an identical barrier has appeared around Mars. Jason, desperate, seeds near space with self-replicating machines that will scatter copies of themselves outward from the sun--and report back on what they find. Life on Earth is about to get much, much stranger. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
