Book excerpt: CYNTHIA, COUNTESS OF HAMPSHIRE, was sitting in an extraordinarily elaborate dressing-gown oneinnocent morning in June, alternately opening letters and eating spoonfuls of sour milk preparedaccording to the prescription of Professor Metchnikoff. Every day it made her feel younger andstronger and more irresponsible (which is the root of all joy to natures of a serious disposition), andsince (when a fortnight before she began this abominable treatment) she felt very young already, shewas now almost afraid that she would start again on measles, croup, hoops, whooping-cough, peppermints, and other childish ailments and passions. But since this treatment not only inducedyouth, but was discouraging to all microbes but its own, she hoped as regards ailments that shewould continue to feel younger and younger without suffering the penalties of childhood.The sour milk was finished long before her letters were all opened, for there was no one inLondon who had a larger and more festive post than she. Indeed, it was no wonder that everybodyof sense (and most people of none) wanted her to eat their dinners and stay in their houses, for hervolcanic enjoyment of life made the dullest of social functions a high orgy, and since nothing isnearly so infectious as enjoyment, it followed that she was much in request.Even in her fiftieth year she retained with her youthful zest for life much of the extremeplainness of her girlhood, but time was gradually lightening the heaviness of feature that had onceformed so remarkable an ugliness, and in a few years more, no doubt, she would become as nicelooking as everybody else of her age

Book excerpt: ARTHUR WHATELY had known very well what it was like to be desperately poor, and inconsequence, when he became so desperately rich that money ceased to mean anything to him, hispity for the penurious was not hysterical or exaggerated. He could recall very vividly what it felt liketo have neither tea, dinner nor supper, and to wake in the morning, stiff and cold as armour, on abench on the Embankment and see the ridiculous needle of Cleopatra stonily pointing heavenwardsagainst the sky, in which the stars were beginning to burn dim at the chilly approach of day. He hadknown how icy the feet become when they have been close clasped all night long in the frayedembraces of gaping leather, but he had known also how sweet and surprising it is to eat when foodis imperiously demanded by the cravings of long-continued abstinence, and how ineffably luxuriousto get warm when limbs have ached themselves numb. He would have been willing to confess thatunveneered destitution had its inconveniences, but it was false sentiment to deny that it had itscompensations also.It was when he was just sixteen that Luck, the great veiled goddess whom all the world so wiselyworships, had paid him her first visit. He had been hanging about at the covered portico of theLyceum Theatre one night watching the well-fed world being lumpily deposited at the doors, when asilly old pink gentleman, in paying his cabman, dropped a promising pocket-book in the roadway.For one half-second the boy deliberated, wondering instinctively (though he had never heard of theproverb) if honesty was the best policy, in other words, how much the pocket-book contained, andhow much the foolish old gentleman would give him if he picked it up and returned it. A couple ofpence, perhaps, for he looked a coppery gent.But the debate lasted scarcely longer than it took the pocket-book to fall; in a moment his wisedecision was made, he had picked it up (recognizing in that delightful incident the smile of the greatgoddess), had dived under the Roman nose of the cab horse, and fled into the street where a chill, unpleasant rain was falling. Luck still smiled on him, for the night was foggy, and as soon as he hadcrossed the street he dropped into the habitual shuffling pace of the homeless, and returned to theportico which he had so lately quitted, since it was theoretically impossible that the thief should doanything so foolish

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Frederic Benson (24 July 1867 - 29 February 1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer. Benson's first book published was Sketches From Marlborough. He started his novel writing career with the (then) fashionably controversial Dodo (1893), which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, which featured a scathing description of composer and militant suffragette Ethel Smyth (which she "gleefully acknowledged", according to actress Prunella Scales), with the same cast of characters a generation later: Dodo the Second (1914), "a unique chronicle of the pre-1914 Bright Young Things" and Dodo Wonders (1921), "a first-hand social history of the Great War in Mayfair and the Shires".
