Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wondrous Wife If you had been untrue to me because you were madly in love with another woman, she wrote, I believe I could have forgiven you. How do I know you were not? Because, although you foolishly tried to conceal your intrigue from me, you told half a dozen of your friends. Apparently you took quite unnecessary pains that they should know. Why? Because, for you, the real charm of the epi sode - which, if it had not been forced upon my no tice, would have remained an episode - depended on its being known and talked about. I might forgive a wound to my affection, or even to my pride, but I can not continue to live with a man who insults my intelligence. Her conviction that, but for her discovery, her husband's association with Laura Dacre would have been merely an episode was not weakened by his emphatic assertion that he intended to live his own life. She did not lay claim to an extraordinary knowledge of human nature, but she was quite sure that a man only finds it necessary to say that he means to live his own life when he is about to live somebody else's. She refused her husband's offer of an allowance, and as her own private in come was too small to support her in decency, went to live with her only brother, a Bristol solicitor, who was fourteen years older than herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wednesday Wife But when there are many slaves, spoke Zulaykha, it is, perchance, not so hard. Aletra said nothing; her eyes were fixed upon invis ible distance as if she were listening intently. There were voices - faint, then coming nearer - men's voices singing in the night. The words they sang were old when the sires of their grandsires sang them in the narrow streets hundreds of years before, or in the light of the caravan fires when crossing the desert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pastor's Wife The aunt, a serious strong lady, was engaged for political meetings in the north, and had gone away to them that very morning, leaving a letter and her house at Ingeborg's disposal for so long as the dentist needed her. The dentist, being the best that money could buy, hardly needed her at all. He pounced unerringly and at once on the right tooth and pulled it out. There were no stoppings, no delays, no pain, and no aunt. Never was a life more beautifully cleared. Ingeborg went away down Harley Street free, and with ten pounds in her pocket. For the rest of this one day, for an hour or two to-morrow morning before setting out for Paddington and home, she could do exactly as she liked. Why, there's nothing to prevent me going anywhere this evening, she thought, stopping dead as the full glory of the situation slowly dawned on her. Why, I could go out somewhere really grand to dinner, just as people do I expect in all the books I'm not let read, and then I could go to the play - nobody could prevent me. Why, I could go to a music-hall if I chose, and still nobody could prevent me! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water of the Wondrous Isles Whilom, as tells the tale, was a walled cheaping-town hight Utterhay, which was builded in a bight of the land a little off the great highway which went from over the mountains to the sea. The said town was hard on the borders of a wood, which men held to be mighty great, or maybe measureless; though few indeed had entered it, and they that had, brought back tales wild and confused thereof. Therein was neither highway nor byway, nor wood-reeve nor way-warden; never came chapman thence into Utterhay; no man of Utterhay was so poor or so bold that he durst raise the hunt therein; no outlaw durst flee thereto; no man of God had such trust in the saints that he durst build him a cell in that wood. For all men deemed it more than perilous; and some said that there walked the worst of the dead; othersome that the Goddesses of the Gentiles haunted there, others again that it was the faery rather, but they full of malice and guile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctor's Wife: A Novel John Gilbert was an elderly man, with a young son. He had married late in life, and his wife had died very soon after the birth of this son. It was for this reason, most likely, that the surgeon loved his child as children are rarely loved by their fathers - with an earnest, over-anxious devotion, which from the Very first had been something womanly in its character, and which grew with the child's growth. Mr. Gilbert's mind was narrowed by the circle in which he lived. He had inherited his own patients and the parish patients from his father, who had been a surgeon before him, and who had lived in the same house, with the same red lamp over the little old-fashioned Surgery-door, for eight-and-forty years, and had died, leaving the house, the practice, and the red lamp to his son.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
