Excerpt from Max: A Novel A night journey is essentially a thing of possibilities. To those who count it as mere transit, mere linking of experiences, it is, of course, a commonplace, but to the imaginative, who by gift divine see a picture in every cloud, a story behind every shadow, it suggests romance - romance in the very making. Such a vessel of inspiration was the powerful north express as it thundered over the sleeping plains of Germa...

Excerpt from The Masquerader: A Novel Two incidents, widely different in chapter yet bound together by results, marked the night of January the twenty-third. On that night the blackest fog within a four years' memory fell upon certain portions of London, and also on that night came the first announcement of the border risings against the Persian government in the province of Khorasan - the announcement that, speculated upon, even smiled at, a...

Excerpt from The Fly on the Wheel A man's room, one would have said at half a glance, - moreover, the room of a man self-made! There was no art, no beauty suggested or displayed, but there was comfort of a solid kind in the fire that burned ruddily in the grate, and in the breakfast - table that stood awaiting occupation. A man's room, although a closed work-basket stood on the sideboard, and the china on the table indicated breakfast for two...

Excerpt from The Circle It was a stormy night in November, out of doors, the wind swung through the street in a rocking gale, but in the parlour behind the curio shop, life seemed at its ebb. Old Solny pored over a musty book, and Anna stood with her head thrown back, her hands clasped behind her, her eyes seeing dreams, above them, on the dun-coloured wall, the Dutch clock ticked methodically, but otherwise the room was bereft of sound. It ...

Such a vessel of inspiration was the powerful north express as it thundered over the sleeping plains of Germany and France on its night journey from Cologne to Paris. A thing of possibilities indeed, with its varying human freight-stolid Teutons, hard-headed Scandinavians, Slavs whom expediency or caprice had forced to descend upon Paris across the sea of ice. It was the month of January, and an unlikely and unlovely night for long and arduous...

John, " he said, tremulously, "I want you to swear to me by the Sign that you will not touch my body -- nor anything on my body -- till the Arch-Councillor comes! Swear, as you hope for your own happiness!" A wild illumination spread over his face, the unpleasant fanatical light showed again in his eyes. For a moment John looked at him, then stirred by his own emotions, by the new pang of self-reproach and gratitude towards this half-crazy man...
