Excerpt from Wilfrid Cumbermede, Vol. 3 of 3HE next morning Charley and I went as usual to the library, where, later in the day, we were joined by the two ladies. It was long before our eyes once met, but when at last they did, Mary allowed hers to rest on mine for just one moment with an expression of dove 'like beseeching, which I dared to interpret as meaning Be just to me. If she read mine, surely she read there that she was safe with my t...

Excerpt from St. George and St. Michael, Vol. 1 of 3 They had been talking about the fast-gather.

Excerpt from Wilfrid Cumbermede, Vol. 1 of 3 I am - I will not say how old, but well past middle age. This much I feel compelled to mention, because it has long been my opinion that no man should attempt a history of himself until he has set foot upon the border land where the past and the future begin to blend in a consciousness somewhat independent of both, and hence interpreting both. Looking westward, from this vantage-ground, the setting...

Excerpt from Thomas Wingfold, Curate, Vol. 1 of 3 She was what all her friends called a sensible girl, but, as I say, that was no reason why she should be an insensible girl as well, and be subject to none of the in¿uences of the weather. She did feel those in¿uences, and therefore it was that She turned away from the window with the sense, rather than the conviction, that the fireside in her own room was rendered even more attractive by the ...

Excerpt from Paul Faber, Surgeon, Vol. 1 of 3 The rector sat on the box of his carriage, driving his horses towards his church, the grand old abbey-church of Glaston. His wife was inside, and an old woman - he had stopped on the road to take her up - sat with her basket on the foot-board behind. His coachman sat beside him: he never took the reins when his master was there. Mr. Bevis drove like a gentleman, in an easy, informal, yet thoroughl...

Excerpt from At the Back of the North WindThere was hay at his feet and hay at his head, piled up in great trusses to the very roof. Indeed it was sometimes only through a little lane with several turnings, which looked as if it had been sawn out for him, that he could reach his bed at all.

Excerpt from Robert Falconer He could even recall, as he thought about it, how drearily the afternoon had passed. First he had opened the street door, and stood in it.

The Royal Oak, down the street to the right, had not even a horseless gig or cart standing before it, and King Charles, grinning awfully in its branches on th...

She did her best, but she had a large family, and work was hard to find, and hard to do when it was found, and hardly paid when it was done. Only hearts of grace can understand the struggles of the poor - with everything but God against them! But she trusted in God, and said whatever he p...
