Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of New England The time of year was April; the place was a small farming town in New Hampshire, remote from any railroad. One by one the lights had been blown out in the scattered houses near Miss Tempy Dent's; but as her neighbors took a last look out-of-doors, their eyes turned with instinctive curiosity toward the old house, where a lamp burned steadily. They gave a little sigh. "Poor Miss Tempy!" said more than one bereft acquaintance; for the good woman lay dead in her north chamber, and the light was a watcher's light. The funeral was set for the next day, at one o'clock. The watchers were two of the oldest friends, Mrs. Crowe and Sarah Ann Binson. They were sitting in the kitchen, because it seemed less awesome than the unused best room, and they beguiled the long hours by steady conversation.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New-England Tale, or Sketches of New England Character and Manners The writer of this tale has made an humble effort to add something to the scanty stock of native American literature. Any attempt to conciliate favour by apologies would be unavailing and absurd. In this free country, no person is under any obligation to write; and the public (unfortunately) is under no obligation to read. It is certainly desirable to possess some sketches of the character and manners of our own country, and if this has been done with any degree of success, it would be wrong to doubt that it will find a reception sufficiently favourable. The original design of the author was, if possible, even more limited and less ambitious than what has been accomplished.

Away down in this little Eastern village of Pemaquid I shall find a safe retreat from my enemies and persecutors. It was a happy thought that brought me here. Time, it is true, will hang heavy on my hands at first, but with all my resources and devices I shall soon adjust myself to my new circumstances. And what are these circumstances? I spend my nights in a room that has been shut up from the profane eye for a quarter of a century. By dint of opening every window, and banishing the hideous green paper curtains, the musty odor of this grim apartment is beginning to become endurable. My days I spend in a room yet more religiously closed, more grim, more musty, which rejoices in the name of parlor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meadow-Grass: Tales of New England Life Across the road, at easy running distance from the schoolhouse at noontime or recess, crawled the little river, with its inevitable hole, which each mother's son was warned to avoid in swimming, lest he be seized with cramp there where the pool was bottomless. What eerie wonders lurked within the mirror of those shallow brown waters! Long black hairs cleaved and clung in their limpid flowing. To this day, I know not whether they were horse-hairs, far from home, or swaying willow roots; the boys said they were truly hairs of the kind des tined to become snakes in their last estate and the girls, listening, shivered with all Mother Eve's premonitory thrill along the backbone. Wish-bugs, too, were here, skimming and dart ing. The peculiarity of a wish-bug is that he will bestow upon you your heart's desire, if only you hold him in the hand and wish. But the impossible premise defeats the conclusion. You never do hold him long enough, simply because you can't catch him in the first place. Yet the fascinating possibility is like a taste for drink, or the glamour of cards. Does the committee man drive past to Sudleigh market, suggesting the prospect of a leisurely return that afternoon.

Sit you here, Dame Kate, while I go up to the change-house and speak again to Master Jones, who of a truth is treating us but scurvily in thus delaying.
