But by the time the hot, burnt coffee was handed round, and she had taken the large cup that Dolly the fat-checked maid had remem bered to bring her - large cup a penny extra - she began to emerge from the physical languor that had kept her silent, and a faint colour came into her face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Latchkey Even when Annesley Grayle turned out of the Strand toward the Savoy She was uncertain whether She would have courage to walk into the hotel. With each step the thing, the dreadful thing, that she had come to do, loomed blacker. It was mon strous, impossible, like opening the door of the lions' cage at the Zoo and stepping inside. There was time still to change her mind. She had only to turn now jump into an omnibus jump out again at the familiar corner, and everything would be as it had been. Life for the next five, ten, maybe twenty years, would be what the last five had been. At the thought of the Savoy and the adventure waiting there, the girl's skin had tingled and grown hot, as if a wind laden with grains of heated sand had blown over her. But at the thought of turning back, of going home - oh, misused word -a leaden coldness shut her Spirit into a tomb.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Faithful in Little: A Tale for Young Women Jane had not been with Mrs. Wilson long, when Miss Wilson was taken ill, and was confined to her bed for some time. This illness added a great deal to the work, the kitchen being underground, as it generally is in London houses, and Miss Wilson's room at the top of the house, which was four stories high.

When Miss Wilson was getting a little better and sat up, Jane was very proud to be allowed to stay in her room and talk to her, and then, bit by bit, came out some of the trials of her former life She was born in a close court in the city.

Download or read book The Springfield Cottage Girl Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Springfield Cottage Girl Emma was the fourth child and second daughter of Thomas and Martha Sharpington. Her countenance was open and ingenuous; her disposition kind; her manners not unpleasing. Full of life and activity, she entered with spirit into the labors and pleasures of the day, and always seemed to enjoy herself, whether engaged in doing what was appointed for her to do, or in following her childish plays. She was quick of understanding in things pertaining to religion; very studious to oblige and please; skilful in the management of her younger brothers and sisters, and exemplary in her conduct to her parents. In order to make it more convenient and easy for her mother to go to the house of the Lord, she readily undertook the care of an infant and of the little ones left at home, though loving the house of God herself, and anxious to visit it as often as possible. Alive to her mother's comfort, and to the general good of the family which consisted of eight members, she never shrunk from labor and fatigue, if an opportunity presented itself for her mother to earn a trifle, and to add to the little store of cottage comforts. To promote an object so desirable, she was observed to endure toil and weariness, and to exert herself, even beyond her strength, with an unfailing smile of good-humor and cheerful content.
