Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Florence Must drive away the meddling fiend who waits On unemployed hours. Our evil thoughts - Savola. Your evil thoughts, my child - you know not evil - Except a little self-will. But why now, While every maid in Florence, young and old, The fair and homely, noble and the mean - Adorns herself and eagerly awaits The eye of admiration, why should you Her fairest daughter, noble, young and rich, Thus hidden disappoint the longing eyes That watch for you alone? Bianca. But why to-day? This is no festival. What other cause May call them forth? Savola. It is a day of triumph. Our gallant army, by Colonna led, That youthful veteran, with conquest crowned Is entering now the gates: and every heart, That beats with love for Florence, now prepares To grace the triumph of the sons of Florence. Bianca. The sons of Florence! What have they achieved? Say, who has been the hero of the war? No son of Florence, but a foreign chief; The bold Colonna, with a hireling sword, Achieves the laurels of each stricken field; His mercenary band our strong defence, His glory the reproach of Florentines. Savola. You are unjust: although Colonna be The first in arms, yet have our native youth Played well their parts, and should partake his triumph Bianca. They merely did their duty. To have failed Had been dishonor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Orleans This translation was begun nearly seventeen years ago, but other pursuits interfered to prevent its completion at that time. An accident recently brought to my remembrance my early attempt, of which I had preserved no copy, and I began to write down as much as I could recollect, supplying vacancies as I proceeded. My aim has been merely to give the spirit of the original, and when I thought that this was gained, I took no great pains to make a strictly literal version. I believe, however, that there are few passages in which I have departed very widely from the original, unless in one or two, which I have purposely altered or omitted. I shall be satisfied, if the friends, for whom alone I have printed this volume, derive from its perusal only a small part of the gratification which I have found in its composition.

Think Clue. Think page-turner.”—Glamour A dead body is one mess she can’t clean up on her own. Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her Gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by, but since Gran died a few months ago, Molly has been navigating life's complexities by herself. With gusto, she throws herself into work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection. But Molly’s orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanour has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black. But will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late? Both a Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Madonna of Sacrifice: A Story of Florence It was not well for a youth whose frail body could scarce endure his daily labors to spend so much of his time in this damp, sunless chapel. They might indeed be even more persuaded could they have noted the changes which had taken place in Fofo since his young mistress had gone to her new home. The little acolyte had lengthened out until his blue, homespun blouse came down only to the hips, and his loose trousers failed to touch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Honor There was to be a wedding at old St. David's, and I was to be the best man. The groom and I had been classmates in college, members of the same fraternity, and roommates for the better part of four years. The day of graduation, which means separation, had come to us as it does to all college boys. We smoked our parting pipe in the fraternity lodge room, sang the song of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and turned our faces toward the future with the hope that destiny would bring to view the faces of other girls, of whom one for each of us would not be left behind. Two men could not well have been more unlike than were Harry Sinclair and I. He was of less than medium height, with round, full face, and light-brown hair which was a fine setting for a florid complexion. His eyes and mouth betokened one who would take what came in daily life, but who would vastly prefer to choose for himself what daily life should bring. He was an easy-going, good-natured man who could be strong and stern when occasion arose. Of course, in college he was popular.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart of a Maid The evening became more beautiful when the soft bright glow that only sunset gives shone on the Simla pines and the barren summits of the more distant hills, While the cicalas shrieked in the trees, making the air hum and simmer with sound. Riding slowly along a narrow road, one of the least frequented in Simla, were a girl and a young man, in earnest talk. The girl was pretty, though at that moment she hardly looked so, for her face was flushed and her mouth worked nervously; her companion, a small man with neat insignificant features, was leaning towards her, and speaking in a low voice.

Download or read book The Maid of Orleans written by Emma Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Orleans: A Romantic Chronicle Warner engaged in the profound researches necessary to v: 'rify the facts contained in the veracious legend of the golden-haired son of Arvon, Owen Tudor, the Editor lighted on some curious particulars relating to the imme diately succeeding times and fortunes of the Maid of Orleans which not being generally known, it was modestly thought, might prove interesting to the world! In fact the singular explanation given of what that varying cosmopolitan was once pleased to consider miraculous in the career of the amazing woman named, is so exclusively contained in the poetical chronicle, in the Editor's sole possession, written by the Minstreless Hueline de Troye, entitled Gestes de la Pucelle d' Orleans, ' that it seemed like an ungenerous concealment of an historical light to withhold it. The Opportunities enjoyed by that lady as a cotemporary of the events delineated, and who being the wife of the favorite minister of Charles VII. The Lord de la Trimouille, may well be supposed to be in the secret of their internal workings, give a value and authenticity to the materials employed in the production of this true chronicle which may be abundantly tested by reference to more accessible historical memoranda. Accordingly, it is here presented to the notice of the benevolent reader; not indeed in the rhymed and poetical form of the original, in conse quence of the great aversion entertained by the present public for that style of composition - but not the less to be relied on as a faithful picture of the times and deeds of the' heroic restorer of the French monarchy.
