Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fairchild Family The father of Mrs. Sherwood - or, to give her her maiden name, Mary Butt - was a clergyman. He had a beautiful country living called Stanford, in Worcestershire, not far from Malvern, where Mary was born on May 6, 1775. She had one brother, a year older than herself, and a sister several years younger, whose name was Lucy. Mary Butt's childhood, in her beautiful country home, was very happy. She was extremely tall for her age, strong and vigorous, with glowing cheeks and dark eyes and very long hair of a bright auburn, which she tells us her mother had great pleasure in arranging. She and her brother Marten were both beautiful children; but no one thought Mary at all clever, or fancied what a mark she would make in the world by her writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Fairchild Family; Or, the Child's Manual, Vol. 1: Being a Collection of Stories, Calculated to Show the Importance and Effects of a Religious Education Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild lived very far from any town; their house stood in the midst of a garden, which in the summer time was full of fruit and sweet flowers. Mr. Fairchild kept only two servants, Betty and John; Betty's business was to clean the house, cook the dinner, and milk the cow; and John waited at table, worked in the garden, fed the pig, and took care of the meadow in which the cow grazed. Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild had three children: Lucy, who was about nine years old when these stories began: Emily who was next in age: and Henry, who was between six and seven. These little children did not go to school: Mrs. Fairchild taught Lucy and Emily, and Mr. Fairchild taught little Henry. Lucy and Emily learned to read, and to do various kinds of needle-work. Lucy had begun to write, and took great pains with her writing; their mamma also taught them to sing psalms and hymns, and they could sing several very sweetly. Little Henry, too, had a great notion of singing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The lower part of the dress consisted of a full petticoat generally flounced, short sleeves, and a very long train; but instead of a hoop there was a vast pad at the bottom of the waist behind, and a frame of wire in front to throw out the neckerchief, so as much as possible to resemble the craw of a pigeon.

Download or read book The All Sorts of Stories Book Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Lang and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The All Sorts of Stories Book This new Story Book is of a new sort, for the tales are of many different kinds some are true, like the history of the man who met in America the other man whom he had been hanged for murdering in England. This may to any unthinking person seem all very natural, but if you think hard you will wonder how the first man got to America after being hanged in England, and how the second man, after being murdered in England, arrived in America. Neither event seems possible, yet both actually occurred. But this happened a hundred and fifty years ago, and could not happen now, when people do not hang a person for murder before they are quite certain that somebody has been murdered that the man said to have been slain is really dead. Again, the man who was hanged would, in our time, have been buried as soon as he was believed to be dead but in times not so very far from ours a murderer, when once thought dead, was suspended in iron chains in a conspicuous place, so that his crime and punishment might not be forgotten. If you read The Fairchild Family, by Mrs. Sherwood, who wrote about eighty years ago, you will find that good Mr. Fairchild took his naughty children to see a body of a murderer hanging in irons, so that they might know what to expect if they let their angry passions rise. This was what people call an object lesson, ' but your dear papa cannot give you this kind of lesson now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barbara Rebell But early in the June of 1870 there was nothing to show what July and August were to bring to France, and the various incidents which so much impressed the child's imagination, and made the day memorable, were almost wholly connected with that solitary inner life which is yet so curiously affected by material occurrences. Barbara's birthday began very differently from what she had thought it would do. The little girl had pleasant recollections of the fashion in which her last fete day, "la Sainte Barbe," had been celebrated. She remembered vividly the white bouquets brought by the tradespeople, the cakes and gifts offered by her little French friends, they who dwelt in Legitimist seclusion in the old town - for St. Germains was at that time a Royalist stronghold - far from the supposed malign influence of the high forest trees, and broad, wind-swept Terrace, which had first attracted Barbara's parents, and caused them to choose St. Germains as their place of retreat. And so Barbara had looked forward very eagerly to her tenth birthday, but by eleven o'clock what, so far, had it brought her? No bouquets, no cakes, no trifling gifts of the kind she loved! As she sat out in her little chair on the balcony of which the gilt balustrade was now concealed by festoons of green leaves and white roses, and from which opened the windows of her mother's drawing-room, the child's conscience pricked her somewhat.

Download or read book Delta Wedding written by Eudora Welty and published by HMH. This book was released on 1979-03-21 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel of a Mississippi family in the 1920s “presents the essence of the Deep South and does it with infinite finesse” (The Christian Science Monitor). From one of the most treasured American writers, winner of a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize, comes Delta Wedding, a vivid and charming portrait of Southern life. Set in 1923, the story is centered on the Fairchilds, a big and clamorous family, who live on a plantation in the Mississippi delta. They are in the midst of planning their daughter’s wedding when a nine-year-old relative, Laura McRaven, whose mother has just died, comes to visit. Drama leads to drama, revelation to revelation, in a novel that is “nothing short of wonderful” (The New Yorker). The result is a sometimes-riotous view of a Southern family, and the parentless child who learns to become one of them.
