Book excerpt: David Poindexter's Disappearance and other tales Julian Hawthorne Colonel Saltine did not at first receive his proposed son-in-law with favor. He was a valetudinarian, and accustomed to regard his daughter as his nurse by right, and he resented the idea of her leaving him forlorn for the sake of a good-looking parson. It is very likely that his objections might have had the effect of breaking off the match, for his daughter was devotedly attached to him, and hardly questioned his right to dispose of her as he saw fit; but after a while the worthy gentleman seems to have thought better of his contrariness. Poindexter had strong persuasive powers, and no doubt made himself personally agreeable to the colonel, and, moreover, it was arranged that the latter should occupy the same house with Mr. and Mrs. Poindexter after they were married. Nevertheless, the colonel was not a man to move rapidly, and the engagement had worn along for nearly a year without the wedding-day having been fixed...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the records of the English state trials are to be found many strange stories; which would; as the phrase is; make the fortune of a modern novelist. But there are also numerous cases; not less stimulating to imagination and curiosity; which never attained more than local notoriety; of which the law was able to take but comparatively small cognizance; although they became subjects of much unofficial discussion and mystification. Among these cases none; perhaps; is better worth recalling than that of David Poindexter. It will be my aim here to tell the tale as simply and briefly as possible—to repeat it; indeed; very much as it came to my ears while living; several years ago; near the scene in which its events took place. There is a temptation to amplify it; and to give it a more recent date and a different setting; but (other considerations aside) the story might lose in force and weight more than it would thereby gain in artistic balance and smoothness.
