This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...asked General Somerset. "The man was perfectly well the day before yesterday, for I saw him out." "He's funked it; it's the white feather. He ought to have come here, if he'd had to hire men to carry him. I don't believe he's got anything the matter at all; it's cowardice. I've always said the man's a worm." "The usual way with these book people," declared the General. "They're great at talk but quite incapable of action. Give me deeds, not words. I've no doubt you are right. He became frightened at the last moment." General Somerset was a grey, spruce, quarrelsome, extremely religious soldier. But his religion tended towards the Plymouth Brethren, and he held the ecclesiastical aspect of Heatherbridge as wholly vile. He was known to have preached in Plymouth amongst other enormities. Medically he favoured Doctor Deane, and when the General was down with asthma from time to time, Deane called and the two flowed over with theology and talked hell-fire to their hearts' content. Both agreed in this: that they saw scant hope for the human race as a whole. "What does he say?" asked the General, while Commander Cragg struggled with Mr. Parkhouse's remarks. "Seems to me he talks sheer drivel. I don't understand a word of it, not a word. If he was going to read out this stuff, I can understand his funking to come." "What's the matter with it?" "Matter! The man must be mad. He's turned the whole dictionary into it." "I should say it might be a piece out of his book perhaps." "Well, I'm not going to read it to-night, anyway; and if you take my advice, Somerset, you won't attempt it either. I'm jolly glad he hasn't come after all." "He will be annoyed if...

Excerpt from Some Every-Day Folks, Vol. 1 of 3 "I cared little for his sermon," said Mrs. Watford, "but I thought his teeth were singularly beautiful." "Which is easily explained," replied Miss Minnifie, "because the sermon was probably his own, whereas his teeth are not." "Impossible, my love! he is but eight or nine and twenty!" "I know a false tooth when I see it, Jane; much more a whole set. Absolute regularity and snow-like whiteness combined mean Arts, not Nature."

Excerpt from Some Every-Day Folks, Vol. 2 of 3 "Father," said Dorothy Bird, Minnie's younger sister, "when d'you think I shall leave school?" The Birds were assembled, as was their custom, between the hours of eight and half-past nine in the evening. During that period, the children did their lessons, Mrs. Bird sat by the fire mending stockings or other matters, and the Major walked up and down, and kept order, or helped his offspring in their tasks when these were not beyond him. Mrs. Bird rarely aided anybody but Dicky and Bunny. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"[...] "Fate was a fool when she chucked her presents into the lap of a lazy beggar like you," said Brady, addressing the visitor. "And thrice a fool," he added, "to assort her gifts so ill." "Fate is a knave, a mad thing playing at cat's cradle with the threads of our wretched little lives," answered John Barron, "she is a coward—a bully. She hits the hungry below the belt; she heaps gold into the lap of the old man, but not till he has already dug his own grave to come at it; she gives health to those who must needs waste all their splendid strength on work; and wealth to worthless beings like myself who are always ailing [...]".

Us knaws she's a dear good sawl 'nough; but what wi' her sour voice, an' her sour way 0' talkin' an' her sour 'pinions, she'm enough to set a rat-trap's teeth on edge." CHAPTER X. MO ONLIGHT. THAT evening Thomasin had another spasm of faceache, and went to bed soon after drinking tea. Michael was due at home about ten 0'clock or earlier, and Joan, having set out supper, made all ready and ascertained that her stepmother had gone to sleep, walked out to the pier-head, there to wait for Mr. Tregenza and Tom. Under moonlight, the returning luggers crept homewards, like inky silhouettes on a background of dull silver. Every moment added to the forest of masts anchored at the moorings outside the harbour; every minute another riding-light glimmered and another rowing-boat shot between the granite piers, to slide silently within the darkness under shore, as it left moonlit rings widening out behind at each dip of the oars. Joan sat down under the lighthouse and waited in the stillness for her father's boat. Yellow flashes, like fireflies, twinkled along through Newlyn, and above them the moon brought out square patches of silver-bright roof, seen through a blue night. Now and then a bell rang in the harbour and lights leapt here and there mingling ro red snakes and steamers of fire with the white moonbeams where they lay on still water. Then Joan knew the fish were being sold by auction, and she grew anxious for her father's return, fearing that prices might have fallen before he arrived. Great periods of silence lay between the ringings of the bell, and at such times faint laughter and voices floated out from shore, blocks...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V On the evening of this day Barbara Hext sat alone in her kitchen. The hour was late; the girl who worked for her had gone home; her sole companion was the liver-coloured spaniel called ' Sarah.' Miss Hext was fallen into a reverie--an accident rare in her life. Things had happened in the morning to throw her back upon the past. A man in the storm of love had done it; and when her private hours were come, instead of planning purchases for the shop, consulting dealers' catalogues, or mending clothes, she read old letters. None knew certainly concerning her youth save that she was the daughter of a dead and gone and godless water-bailiff. She had lived in London with a well-born man for three years; then he married, and she left him and returned to the Moor. Lovers came--some for her little fortune and some for herself. And once she loved and promised to marry. But when she told him the truth in the hour that she accepted him, he made it a condition that she should give away her money to the last farthing. She declined to do so; the match was broken off, and Barbara, who had no mind to the other suitors, disappeared again. For ten years she worked in London as forewoman in a department of a large general store. She had no more lovers, and became studious and contemplative. Then, on the edge of middle age, she returned to the home of her childhood and set up her little shop there. The folk believed that she was rich, and they knew that she was kind. But her goodness had always been a matter of debate. None understood her; Nonconformists and those of the Establishment alike feared her, and feared for her. Herself she was fearless and was reported to believe in nothing. Barbara read the letters, and emotion shone in her eyes. She...
