(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
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. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...after a little drilling." By the time he had reached the Queen's Road, Foulerton had forgotten "what the 'Comedy' was about." He fell asleep trying to trace a coherent plot behind its glamour; but as that had been obliterated by the manager for fear of making his audience think, the Major's failure was less discreditable to his intellect than he supposed. On the following morning after breakfast he took the same train to Brighton by which Mrs. St. George had travelled three days before. Foulerton found Brighton smarting under a warm sun and a biting wind. As it was "a regular March day" he enjoyed it patriotically. He thought the grey-green Channel, shrinking back, petulant and wrinkled, under the whip of the breeze, lovelier than' the dark-blue tropic seas he had lately crossed. The cabman turned up the collar of his coat; the Major undid the buttons of his. "This is the sort of thing for English lungs!" he said. The driver politely regretted that it ill suited his "complaint." Finding a sympathetic listener, he gave the Major an account of his symptoms, to which, however, as they approached the school the latter forgot to listen. So far Foulerton had smothered his misgivings, but now "the thing must be faced." He rang the bell and dismissed the cabman. The whitecapped maid opened the door. The pallid drawing-room in which Mrs. St. George had shuddered received him with the faintest odour of primroses--the first he had seen since his arrival in England. He buried his face in their fresh coolness and remembered the woods behind the Rectory. "Poor little chap!" he thought. "What on earth shall I say to him?" As he turned from...

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...bequeathed to our stock of civilised credulity by the sombre terrors of a darker age. The simple effect of light struck her as a good omen. She was replacing Foulerton's gifts in the narrow drawer just above that which contained the silver box when a servant came and said Mr. Brooke wished to see her. What could he want? Probably her signature to some paper. She regretted his coming, not only because he interrupted a luxurious reverie, but because he had the power to drag her back to that from which she had escaped. Still she was grateful to him for saving valuable fragments of St. George's property for her, and for dealing with them with honesty and skill. Indeed, the money-lender was the only faithful ally she had made, and where he regarded his word pledged she knew him to be trustworthy. She found him in the drawing-room. His keen face was turned towards the door as she entered; behind him, through the open window, the roar of London entered. The light shone on his crisp, coarse, jet-black curls, sleek with violet-scented brilliantine; something in his manner made her nervous. "Nothing wrong?" she said. "I hope you won't think so," he replied. "What is it?" she asked. "Something Allen Herriott has been saying." Here the sickening misgiving seized her; he saw her face change and tried to encourage her. "Look here, old girl," he said, "you and I were pals for some years, but we never asked each other too many questions. I had a talk with Herriott yesterday. He's down on his luck. Business, he says, is bad, and he hasn't forgiven you for chucking him. He didn't show me his hand, but he let me see he has found out something about you...

Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...nor a quarter of my energy, I lay awake at night tossing from side to side, fearing lest Bertie This or Algie That should carry off the beloved, and leave me to perish in the trackless desert where the ghosts of vain loves wander in ineffectual circles of recurrent despair. Then I read Tennyson's "Maud,"--finding as well as the reflection of my own passion strange comfort in its lyrical flashes of hope and fear,--and swore that I too would win. But to trace the course of love in the fresh heart of youth is as much beyond the poet's pen as the physiologist's explanation. We only know that there is in the heart a glowing hunger which we cannot drive out nor, unaided, satisfy. By these signs, O tender youth, shall you know Loveit was thus that I knew him! Struggling with my conqueror, I at last became a man of action. It chanced, in the month of uly, several weeks after I had told Petronia in defence of my own honour that I had "no sword," that Roderick Orme was called from London. Director of a company owning estates in Brazil, his presence in Rio aneiro became necessary on business. How often since have I blessed that picturesque city! Thus, for awhile, the influence I most dreaded was removed, and the treasure I sought left unguarded; for Mrs. Hessell, immersed in the affairs of the Society, suspected nothing and, if possible, saw less. And with Orme's departure the London season, into whose hollow gaieties Petronia had been recklessly flung, ended. "I have had," she said, "enough racketing for the present, and am longing for the country." "Dear Harbarrow Chase!" I murmured; but as her mother was in the room said no more, but smiled like one lost (as, of...
