I HAD done a few things and earned a few pence -I had perhaps even had time to begin to thinkI was finer than was perceived by the patronising; but whenI take the little measure of my course (a fidgety habit, for it's none of the longest yet)I count my real start from...

There are several objections to it, but I'll take it if you'll alter it, Mr. Locket's rather curt note had said; and there was no waste of words in the postscript in which he had added: If you'll come in and see me, I'll show you what I mean. This communication had...

Yes indeed, I say to myself, pen in hand, I can keep hold of the thread and let it lead me back to the first impression. The little story is all there, I can touch it from point to point; for the thread, as I call it, is a row of coloured beads on a string. None of...

Never say you know the last words about any human heart! I was once treated to a revelation which startled and touched me in the nature of a person with whom I had been acquainted - well, as I supposed - for years, whose character I had had good reasons, heaven knows,...

I guess my daughter's in here, the old man said leading the way into the little salon de lecture. He was not of the most advanced age, but that is the way George Flack considered him, and indeed he looked older than he was. George Flack had found him sitting in the...

The child was provided for, but the new arrangement was inevitably confounding to a young intelligence intensely aware that something had happened which must matter a good deal and looking anxiously out for the effects of so great a cause. It was to be the fate of this...

Every one asks me what I 'think' of everything, said Spencer Brydon; and I make answer as I can - begging or dodging the question, putting them off with any nonsense. It wouldn't matter to any of them really, he went on, "for, even were it possible to meet in that...

The houses were dark in the August night and the perspective of Beacon Street, with its double chain of lamps, was a foreshortened desert. The club on the hill alone, from its semi-cylindrical front, projected a glow upon the dusky vagueness of the Common, and as I...

I was not rich - on the contrary; andI had been told the Pension Beaurepas was cheap. I had, moreover, been told that a boarding- house is a capital place for the study of human nature. I had a fancy for a literary career, and a friend of mine had said to me, If you...

My dear child, the bromide of sodium (if that's what you call it) proved perfectly useless. I don't mean that it did me no good, but that I never had occasion to take the bottle out of my bag. It might have done wonders for me if I had needed it; but I didn't, simply...

Won't you stay a little longer? the hostess asked while she held the girl's hand and smiled. It's too early for every one to go - it's too absurd. Mrs. Churchley inclined her head to one side and looked gracious; she flourished about her face, in a vaguely protecting...

I am ashamed to begin with saying that Touraine is the garden of France; that remark has long ago lost its bloom. The town of Tours, however, has some thing sweet and bright, which suggests that it is sur- rounded by a land of fruits. It is a very agreeable little...
