Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blotting Book House, supreme over climatic conditions, nobody ever'felt that rooms were either too hot or too cold, a pleasantly fresh yet comfortably warm atmosphere per vaded the place, meals were always punctual and her admirable Scotch cook never served up a dish which, whether plain or ornate, was not, in its way, perfectly prepared. A couple of deft and noiseless parlour-maids attended to and anticipated the wants of her guests, from the moment they entered her hospitable doors till when, on their leaving them, their coats were held for them in the most convenient possible manner for the easy insertion of the human arm, and the tails of their dinner-coats cunningly and un erringly tweaked from behind. In every way in fact the house was an example of perfect comfort; the softest carpets overlaid the floors, or, where the polished wood was left bare, the parquetry shone with a moonlike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Well Won IT was a fine warm morning, and Mrs. Thorpe was a little earlier than usual on the day succeeding that described in the last chapter. She was seated, pen in hand, at a writing-table in one of the windows of the library, which overlooked a piece of ornamental ground at the back of the houses in Richmond Gardens, and which entitled them to that appellation. She was a slight, willowy woman, with very fair hair and light blue eyes. Her smile though sweet was a little sad, and her voice low and timid. A gentle, loving woman, yet not altogether devoid of strength, although it was hid den too far down under the surface strata of shyness and self-distrust to be easily recognized or evoked. Her blotting-book was Open, and a long slip of paper covered with figures lay before her. A pile of small books were on one side of the table, and at the other stood a severe-looking woman in a prim white cap, a neat print dress, and a large white apron.

She opened a book and looked at it, evidently to gain time, put down some make-believe notes on the blotting paper in front of her, and then suddenly, with an air of bewilderment and boredom, glanced at her sister, Mrs. Rigg, who sat on a sofa patiently wait ing. It was only half-past ten. Relations had no business to come so early, she thought, or to come at all, unless they knew how to dress and look prosperous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master Mummer Sheets of virgin manuscript paper littered my desk, the smoke of much uselessly consumed tobacco hung about the room in a little cloud. Many a time I had dipped my pen in the ink, only to find myself a few minutes later scrawling ridiculous little figures upon the margin of my blotting-pad. It was not at all an auspicious start for one who sought immortality. There came a growl presently from the other side of the room, where Mabane, attired in a disreputable smock, with a short black pipe in the corner of his mouth, was industriously defacing a small canvas. Mabane was tall and fair and lean, with a mass of refractory hair which was the despair of his barber; a Scotchman with keen blue eyes, and humorous mouth amply redeeming his face from the plainness which would otherwise have been its lot. He also was in search of immortality. "Make a start for Heaven's sake, Arnold," he implored. "To look at you is an incitement to laziness. The world's full of things to write about. Make a choice and have done with it. Write something, even if you have to tear it up afterwards." I turned round in my chair and regarded Mabane reproachfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mountains of Necessity In the dreary bare room of an Indian bungalow a man lay dying; - a man in the prime of life, whose strongly made frame, wasted as it was to a mere shadow by fever and weakness, still showed the remains of stalwart beauty and vigour. The fiery life-draining heat of an Eastern summer stole in, although kuss-kuss tatties well sprinkled with water had been fitted tightly to the window-frames. The light was dim, yet gave no sense of coolness. Into the sick man's dreams came thoughts of England, home, and dear ones whom he would never see again; a passionate craving for a breath of fresh sweet air, for the touch of a soft hand on his aching burning forehead. Death, - that was the verdict, and he knew it; knew that he must die - alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from His Worldly Goods She put one hand in his, looked at him a moment, and then smiled slowly, the long sweet corners of her gray-blue eyes narrowing as she smiled, until the man involuntarily tightened his hold on her hand. She let him hold it the briefest of moments, then she lifted her other hand, and drew the veil down over her face. The effect of suddenly blotting out the vivid eyes and the lips with their slow silent smiling was startling. The man dropped her hand at once. It is good of you to go, Nadine; it is a glorious morning. Do you mind if I stop to see T home a moment about a meeting of the vestry to-night where I have to speak? I would have seen him on the way here but I was afraid I should be late. It is quite important or I should not ask you to wait while I go in. It won't take long. He put her into the seat beside him as he made his request and the car moved forward. I shall not mind. Her voice was low and soft, the voice of the woman assured of herself; but it held a curious mocking quality as she finished her sen tence. You may even ask Mr. Thorne to go with us if you like, Percy. The man suddenly straightened his shoulders with a quick glance at her. If he must speak to T home, he might ask him to come with them! That was Nadine. He bridled a little. Surely, he said, if you wish, I will ask him. There is the archdeacon across the street, evidently also going to the parish house.

Download or read book The Spectator Bird written by Wallace Stegner and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary agent Joe Allston, the central character of Stegner's novel All the Little Live Things, is now retired and, in his own words, 'just killing time until time gets around to killing me.' His parents and his only son are long dead, leaving him with neither ancestors nor descendants, tradition nor ties. His job, trafficking the talent of others, had not been his choice. He passes through life as a spectator. A postcard from an old friend causes Allston to return to the journals of a trip he and his wife had taken years before, a journey to his mother's birthplace, where he'd sought a link with the past. The memories of that trip, both grotesque and poignant, move through layers of time and meaning, and reveal that Joe Allston isn't quite spectator enough. Wallace Stegner was the author of, among other works of fiction, Remembering Laughter (1973); The Big Rock Candy Mountain (1943); Joe Hill (1950); All the Little Live Things (1967, Commonwealth Club Gold Medal); A Shooting Star (1961); Angle of Repose (1971, Pulitzer Prize); Recapitulation (1979); Crossing to Safety (1987); and Collected Stories (1990). His nonfiction includes Beyond the Hundredth Meridian (1954); Wolf Willow (1963); The Sound of Mountain Water (essays, 1969); The Uneasy Chair: A Biography of Bernard deVoto (1964); American Places (with Page Stegner, 1981); and Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs: Living and Writing in the West (1992). Three short stories have won O.Henry prizes, and in 1980 he received the Robert Kirsch Award from the Los Angeles Times for his lifetime literary achievements.
