Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a sweet story for kids that takes place in Seabreeze Cove, a small beach town. The stars of the story are Lily, Bailey's owner and best friend, and Bailey, a Golden Retriever who likes to explore. They fit together perfectly because they are always looking for fun and new things to do. Every day feels like a brand-new, exciting adventure for them. As they walk along the beach one sunny morning, Bailey's nose picks up a scent that is different from the smell of the water and the salty air. This scent starts their most recent trip. Because Bailey has such a great sense of smell, their trips have always been exciting, and this time is no different. They start their adventure when they find a treasure map partly buried in the sand. The map has beautiful pictures of a tall lighthouse, a delicate seashell, and palm trees. The map shows big experiences and hidden things that need to be found. The map in hand and a strong will to find the hidden treasure in Seabreeze Cove gave Lily and Bailey the courage to go. They visit other places on the map that their travels lead them to, like a grove of palm trees, a beautiful lighthouse, and a quiet bay full of seashells. They have setbacks and disappointments along the way, but their friendship and drive help them get through it. Finally, they find a treasure chest hidden in the sand of the faraway cove. Their finding backs up the idea that what makes them valuable is their friendship and the fun things they do together. They find many beautiful seashells and pearls inside the chest, along with a note that says, "The real treasure is the adventures you share and the love you hold." As Lily and Bailey go home with their new finds, they think about the day and decide that their best quality is their friendship. When the story ends, they are sound asleep, dreaming of new experiences. They are sure that their friendship will always be a treasure, no matter where their travels take them. "Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a story about excitement, friendship, and the fun of finding something new. It teaches kids about the importance of working together, having lasting friendships, and the strong bond between a child and her dog. This is how the story starts: Bailey was a smart and brave puppy who used to live in Seabreeze Cove, a cute seaside town. As a Golden Retriever, Bailey was full of life and had a great sense of fun. He had so much energy and could make every day an exciting experience and his family loved him. Between the wide ocean and the rising hills is Seabreeze Cove, a lovely place to hide away. Along the gravel roads were cute homes with gardens full of bright flowers that looked like they were dancing in the light sea breeze. The quiet people who lived in Seabreeze Cove loved their peaceful life, and Bailey, the active and daring dog, made the neighborhood a lot of fun. Bailey's boundless energy comes from his owner, a sweet little girl named Lily. As soon as Lily and Bailey met, they fell in love and couldn't be apart. They became best friends and stories about them spread all over Seabreeze Cove. Bailey was a wonderful dog who loved life very much. Even the dullest days could be turned into amazing trips with his magic. Bailey's eyes would light up with joy every morning as the sun rose over the sparkling water, and he would kiss Lily awake, eager to start their new journey. Lily and Bailey were always happy and excited when they got to Seabreeze Cove because they saw each day as a new adventure to be found. Lily and Bailey would start their trips together as the sun rose, making the sky a world of pink and gold. The ritual brought them closer together because it promised them excitement and new things every day. The sandy beach of the cove was where they played. It was a big space where they could run and chase birds for as long as they wanted. Bailey would run on the sand, leaving paw prints that showed where they had been, and his happy barks would fill the air. Lily would laugh as she looked at her loyal friend. His golden coat would shine like a happy star in the warm sun. They loved rolling around in the soft, foamy sea foam because it tickled their skin and made them want to play. The smooth salt air carried by the sea breeze made people dream of faraway places and riches that haven't been found yet. Early explorers felt the same way when they went out into the unknown: full of excitement. Lily and Bailey were no different. Their travels took them to places they hadn't been before, where rocks and sand met suddenly. Lily and Bailey would look into these secret places with awe and amazement, saying they would find buried wonders. They gathered seashells of every color you can think of driftwood with stories about the sea, and their footprints to show that they had been in these remote places of the world. Lily was interested in Bailey for hours because he was always asking questions, and he seemed to have endless energy. He would follow his nose as he looked into the secrets of the beach, checking out every nook and cranny. Lily would follow him, and her heart would burst with gratitude for her brave puppy.

Book excerpt: Second chances can sometimes get you killed. From the moment he woke that early March morning, Chase Hampton knew, once he was released from prison later that day, he was never going back. No matter what. Born into a wealthy but flawed North Carolina shipbuilding family, Chase was somehow immune to the dysfunction. The sky was the limit for the 18-year old football prodigy, until one terrible event changed the course of his life and prison became his new home. Through the highs and lows of his incarceration, there was one person he couldn’t forget, no matter how hard he’d tried: childhood best friend Bailey Masters. For reasons unknown to him, she'd shunned him ever since her mysterious return to Foggy Harbor at the beginning of their sophomore year. Now, seven years into a twelve-year manslaughter sentence, Chase is given an unusual second chance, one that comes with its own set of rules. Suddenly, he's thrust into a position he's not ready for: the tip of the spear in a quiet war against an American enemy. A war that could cost him his family . . . and his life.

Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession. A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered "too sensational" to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women.

Download or read book H C Bailey s Reggie Fortune and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction written by Laird R. Blackwell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.C. Bailey's detective Reggie Fortune was one of the most popular protagonists of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Fortune appeared in nine novels yet it was in a series of 84 short stories that were published from 1920 to 1940 where he truly shone, combining elements of several popular archetypes--the eccentric logician, the forensic investigator, the hard-boiled interrogator, the psychological profiler, the defender of justice. This critical study examines the Fortune stories in the context of other popular detective fiction of the era. Bailey's classics are distinguished by well-clued puzzles, brilliant sleuthing, vivid description and social critique, with Fortune evoking images of Don Quixote and the Arthurian Knights in his pursuit of truth and justice in an uncaring world.

Download or read book Morality and Utility in American Antislavery Reform written by Louis S. Gerteis and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late colonial period through the Civil War, slavery developed as the most powerful obstacle to the triumph of liberal values in America. In the second quarter of the nineteenth century, the ambiguities of the revolutionary generation's accomodation of slavery gave way to a direct and violent conflict between northern liberalism and southern slavery. The character of the antislavery movement -- its relationship to broader discussions of morality, law, political economy, and mass politics -- and the expectations it raised for the postemancipation South are central themes of this work. In the past, historians of antislavery reform have distinguished between moral reform and political reform, between the uncompromising zeal of antislavery radicals and temporizing character of mass politics in the mid-nineteenth century. Louis Gerteis focuses on the evolution in antislavery reform of a liberal vision of progress and explores the manner in which moral sentiments against slavery advanced the utilitarian values of American capitalism.
