Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun and Gold Ell, now, said Aunt N abby Strong, think you should ha' remembered that! She stood in the kitchen, in sunshine the brighter from the facets of the snow, and turned on her thin gnarled finger a wedding ring. She was a sweet old lady, straight and tall, a complexity of kindliness and the sobriety of long experience in her withered face. Her daughter, Nancy Hart, the moral of her, so far as youth can echo age, stood by, with keen delight upon her face. Nancy still had on her outdoor things, but she had not been able to wait for more than a second after crossing the sill before she gave her mother the present she had brought. Yes, said Mrs. Strong, I know exactly what I said, an' you took it up an' remembered it, an' now you've spent your money so's't I should have a ring. If you ain't the beater! Well, you always was, Nancy. Anybody never had to say what they wanted twice over but there 'twas. Nancy was throwing Off her enveloping shawl and the jacket underneath. I dunno but I ought to told Sarah, she said, and let her come in on it. But I was so mean and selfish, I just wouldn't, that's all.

Why not stay and play the game? He asked himself. The real Jimmy Price would not be there until he reasoned, and by that time he would be on his way back home. His thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of Joe. Well, well! He exclaimed, extending his hand. So this is Jimmy Price, Betsy's son. Betsy was my Sister, Jim, and a humdinger at that. She had a whole string of beaux, but finally eloped with Gerald Price, your father. She died when you came, and Gerald died of grief two months later. We lost track of you entirely until I read an announcement in the paper of your connection with that furniture company. Well, we're mighty glad to see you. Just make yourself at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 8: March 1933 So Horace went home, his mind filled with a jumble of angels, of fairy music to which he and she glided rhythmically to and fro, exciting admiring glances where they went. Now Horace had never been to a dance, but he had attended a few parties where there had been dancing, simply because his mother had literally forced him to go. He had watched the dancers with contempt then; but thinking it over now, it seemed easy enough. He practiced a little by himself in front of the mirror in the living room and decided that he would have no trouble. Of course, he would not be dancing much anyway. They would go out in the garden and talk. Where was she, anyhow? He'd been here over an hour, and he hadn't talked to her yet. He had thought he'd better dance with some other girl first, to practice up a little for her; but it hadn't gone so well. It seemed that he and the girl just couldn't find out what each other was doing. He guessed he'd better not try to dance any more. If he could only find her, they could go some place and talk. He hadn't seen her for at least twenty minutes, not since he was dancing with that girl. Whew, it was hot in here; he might as well go out and cool off.

Download or read book Homespun Vol 4 May 1929 Classic Reprint written by Greensboro High School and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 4: May 1929 The following folk-lore articles are based on material recently collected by the pupils of four sophomore English classes in Greensboro High School. Although they started out to find some of the singing games of the children of North Carolina, they also discovered and brought counting-out rhymes, folk-songs, folk-sayings, folk-tales, riddles, superstitions, and ballads. The words for the singing games they drew from their own experience, from the observation of children at play, and from the recollections of Older people. Workingmen on the job, negroes anywhere, and uneducated white people proved valuable sources of this kind of information. One boy submitted for one day's lesson a collection of twenty folk-songs. One girl brought seventeen negro spirituals told her by a colored woman. In one day eighteen different versions of that simplest of singing games, Ring Around the Roses, were reported. The case with which such a collection is made is evidence of the unexploited richness of the folk-literature of North Carolina.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 3: May 1928 As nearly as I can remember, the next work of Conrad's I read was that group of short stories in the volume, Youth. The first of these, Youth, is not really a short Story; it is a sketch done in glowing colors. It is an expression of the universal glamor of youth and is considered quite a literary masterpiece, I understand. In this volume, though, I think my favorite was Heart of Dark ness. This is the account of an expedition up the Congo, based on an actual experience in Conrad's life. It is told through thewords of that strange philosopher, Marlow, whom Conrad used in a number of his books as a means of giving the reader a more intimate impression of the things he had to tell. Heart of Darkness has an uncanny mood all its own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 5: December 1929 Ince primeval man first cherished awe for the supernatural when he opened his eyes and stared in amazement at the wondrous things placed at his disposal for his own comfort and enjoyment, he at some time or other has formed some Conception of the ruler of the heavens, almighty, all-powerful, around whom the whole earth evolved. Even today, we, with all our knowledge given to us by science, still have a God who presides over the universe with a never-erring hand. Our idea is the result of the experience and discoveries of the ages preceding us. Religion is the most puzzling and the most profound question which has confronted the human mind since time began, and it is the most difficult, perhaps, that the mind has tried to cope with. We can readily see that there is some kind of divine power back of everything, because if there were not some sort of a guiding hand to keep this old world right, things could not progress in such a smooth fashion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 6: November 1930 T is often said that the population of North Carolina is almost I entirely of pure English stock. This statement, however, is incorrect. Four principal racial elements have been fused together to produce the modern North Carolinian. First, of course, is the anglo-saxon; second, the Celtic scotch-highlander; third, the scotch-irish; and fourth, the German. The commercial Englishmen were the first to settle in this State. Due to the fact that they outnumbered the other races, their influence has been more strongly felt than that of any other people. The English came down from Virginia with the peaceful purpose of buying land from the Indians. They settled in Albemarle, and from there their settlements spread out over the flat lowlands of eastern Carolina even to the Piedmont. Their history here is like themselves, somewhat unromantic, but displaying an almost in credible amount of common sense. These people with their law abiding, home-loving natures have given North Carolina some of its most enduring possessions: the English church, the English law, and the English language. The second great element, the scotch-highlanders, came seek ing peace from the greatly disturbed conditions in Scotland. They settled in the Cape Fear region and had their chief village in what is now Fayetteville. For many years they lived their Simple, religious lives in peace and content. Because of the Highlanders' honorable characters and deliberate convictions, both armies in the American Revolution were anxious to secure them as allies. The Scotch wished to remain neutral, but that proved impossible. Most of them remained faithful to the mother country. When peace was finally restored, this people quietly united in the great work of putting a new-born nation on its feet.
