Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from S'ancrer The hills toward the west were one black mass. Their contour broken by a single tree, or clump of trees, silhouetted against the afterglow of the setting sun. The sky where the sun had passed seemed like highly polished gold, reflecting the direct rays of the sun. From this centre radiated a halo far more beautiful than any mortal could conceive, which as it spread toward the south deepened in color to a rich red. A few filmy, transparent clouds had caught the sun's rays. The rest of the heavens were absolutely cloudless. Aunt Ilda and I were alone on the west piazza of Brier Lodge one Sunday afternoon. Valleys and hills, ravines and gulleys, lay before us like a panorama. We looked down upon stretches of woodland unbroken for miles and miles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arrant Rover His is to be the story of a young man, to think of whom is to visualize with some ador ing female face close to his own. He had, of course, plenty of other characteristics. He was not merely a man of affairs (either writ ten with the e that suggests impropriety, or without it). It does not follow that a man has no full-face merely because most of his portraits Show him in profile. Our very first sideways glimpse, then, of Archie Laverock shows him with an adoring female face bent above his own. His own being scarlet and creased as a poppy-bud newly released from the Sheath; featureless, senile, working blindly fero cions with the will-to-live, and, judged by normal standards, entirely hideous.

It was twelve o'clock before he found the Candia, lying among the grim warehouses near the Tower, and he observed her deserted appearance with some anxiety as he went on board. At first he saw no one on deck, but presently discovered a sailor leaning over the bul warks, smoking. The Professor approached, and in his most courteous manner his politeness was of a more formal type than is common now asked him if the captain was on board.

Book excerpt: The enchanting tale of mischief and myth—inspired by West African folklore—that became a fantasy classic, from the award-winning author of The Blue, Beautiful World Paama is a marvelous cook who’s had the bad fortune to marry Ansige. He was the least eligible bachelor in his village: self-centered, foolish, and food-obsessed. Paama has had enough of this miserable life with her gluttonous husband, and so leaves him to return to her old life with her family. But Paama does not know that this is the beginning of a remarkable adventure. Because the Undying Ones are watching her. These spirits observe the follies of mortal life . . . and sometimes meddle and make mischief. One of these beings presents her with a magical artifact known as the Chaos Stick, which he says is “great for stirring things up.” As Paama gets to know the powers of this marvelous gift, she learns that the Chaos Stick was stolen from a rival spirit, who decides to stir up some trouble of his own. But mastering this magical artifact is only the beginning of Paama’s quest. Although Paama has been granted great power by the Undying Ones, her real journey is to find the magic that lies within herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Giant's Strength As for Paula herself, she passed on, between her father and the man she had almost promised to marry, unmoved by the stir she created. She was aware of it, but she was used to it. Having been so constantly her father's companion during the last four years, she had come to take public attention as a matter of course. At first the interest she inspired had been impersonal - the interest inseparable from one whom the Amer ican press called the greatest heiress on earth. Her fortune was compared with that of the Queen of Holland, and of the daughters of the Rothschild and Rockefeller families, but that was all. Now, however, at twenty-two, she was emerging from the golden mist that had surrounded her, and was assuming personality. The flowering of her beauty had done something towards this. People had found it superfluous that a girl with so much money should have a complexion like rose-petals floating in milk. They resented the fact that her figure had needless grace, and her face an expression of appeal which there was no resisting. Rumors of marriage sprang up wherever she appeared. The girl knew these things without taking actual ac count of them, or letting them form part of her daily consciousness. At this minute she could ignore the fact that her looks were being criticised and her income appraised, in gazing about her, with amusement, at the novelty of the scene.

Download or read book Down Among the Crackers Classic Reprint written by Rosa Pendleton Chiles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Down Among the Crackers Though the village, Walesca, has real geographical significance and the old college on the hill is the Rome to which all roads of the section lead, it must not by any means be thought that all, or indeed, any personages in the book have real existence here. Some, ready to draw analogies as well between the characters of a novel and men and women who move in the daily course of life as between Alpine and Rocky mountain scenery, may, indeed, tell me they recognize in one or another a neighbor, an old friend, a student of the college, or some one of whom they have heard; but I, my dear readers, who have known these children of my brain longer than you, fail to identify them with any of the folks of the section. They may indeed possess characteristics known to you in some residents of Cherokee, buti could as well point you to owners of the same in a half dozen other countries or states, for that matter. These characters are in part, of a composite type, possessing qualities not so much of individuals known to you and me as of the class delineated. Whether dwellers in the Empire State of the South, or elsewhere; yet in larger part, they are citizens of the more mystic realm of the imagination, adapted to the genuine life of the class de scribed, and that they have taken up their abode in this old Indian village, under the shadow of Pine Log, and under the powerful influences of modern intellectual ism, is a compliment to the place, for they bad choice of many another in which to live.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Jasper's Tenant: A Novel There were many versions of this story, which may have been somewhat legendary in its character.. It related to a noble race which was extinct, and to a time in which men wore fantastically-frizzed periwigs upon their heads, and carried slim rapiers at their sides, always conveniently ready for any little impromptu in the way of an assassination in the badly-lighted streets, or a duel to the death in some lonely chamber with locked doors. If you had been an amateur artist on the look-out for a subject for a water-color draw ing, scarcely any thing could have been better for you than the Hermitage, lying low in a deep hollow of Scarsdale Wood, with trackless depths of fern stretching away to the left of its grim walls, and a still, black pool lying to the right of the old ivy-grown gate surmounted by a stone escutcheon, and marking the boun dary of a garden that was no more.

Download or read book The Lantern 1900 Classic Reprint written by Louise Buffum Congdon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lantern, 1900 Bryn Mawr is unique in two respects, one academic and the other social. The first is our privilege of specialization, both in undergraduate and graduate work, and the second is our self-government Association. Bryn Mawr was the first woman's college to adopt the group system, and to allow the youngest student to choose her own course, within certain large limitations. Beside the specialization through the group system, we have been peculiarly fortunate, from the opening of the college, in having among us always a considerable number of specializing graduate students through whose presence the undergraduate is brought into closer contact with real scholarship than would otherwise be possible. By means of the group system all students are closely united in the class room and sympathy between fellow-students is thus made to extend from one class to another and is. Not confined within the limits of a single class. Nevertheless, that the group system lessens class feeling, as was stated in the lantern of 1891, is fortunately or unfortunately no longer true. Though we may all be fellow-students, we are not fellow-classmen, and with regard to our own class, we are only too jealous of its dignity and privileges.

Indeed, Sir Saul was almost always out of doors, which was taken as a bad sign. He preferred his hounds and jesses. He said he could keep his hounds in leash well enough, whereas he never could control the yelling pack of his wife's words. Yelling! Was the word your father used, Said Lady Rimmon to Violet, as if I yell, and I have never got over the way he described my voice. He said my voice was an earsore That was the voice which, when I married him, was a bird's warble.' It agitated me for a week, and I have never forgotten it. But she accepted her illusions, and reserved all her affection for her daughter. She determined to discover a safe marriage.
