The Enchanted April

So entirely unaware was Mrs. Wilkins that her April for that year had then and there been settled for her that she dropped the newspaper with a gesture that was both irritated and resigned- and went over to the window and stared drearily out at the dripping street. (Excerpt from Chapter 1)

And if the modern reader after turning a page or two finds his attention held and wants to go on reading it will mean that this book has become at last what in fact it was always meant to be¿a realistic but romantic story of healthy adolescence set against the background of an average English Public School.

Tales of War

DUNSANY, LORD

Genre Fiction

Excerpt: ...and so did I. "The reverend father's behaviour assuredly suggested urgency," I said. "And was there none?" asked the old man quietly. "You sons of war chase the oldest of human illusions: to you nothing is of moment but the impact of brutal forces or the earthly cunning which arrays and moves them. To me all this is less hateful than contemptible, in moment not comparable with the joy of a single human soul. Believe me, my sons, although the French have destroyed my peerless University-fortis Salamantina, arx sapientia-I were less eager to hurry God's avenging hand on them than to bring together two souls which in the pure joy of meeting soar for a moment together, and, fraternising, forget this world. Nay, deny it not: for I saw it, standing by. Least of all be ashamed of it." "I am not sure that I understand you, holy father," I answered. "But you have done us a true service, and shall be rewarded by a confession-from a stubborn heretic, too." I glanced at Captain Alan mischievously. My kinsman put up a hand in protest. "Oh, I will prepare the way for you," said I: "and by and by you will be astonished to find how easy it comes." I turned to the Doctor Gonsalvez. "You must know, then, my father, that the Captain and I, though we follow the same business and with degrees of success we are too amiable to dispute about, yet employ very different methods. He, for instance, scorns disguises, while I pride myself upon mine. And, by the way, as a Professor of Moral Philosophy, you are doubtless used to deciding questions of casuistry?" "For twenty years, more or less, I have presided at the public disputations in the Sala del Claustro of our University." "Then perhaps you will resolve me the moral difference between hiding in a truss of hay and hiding under a wig? For, in faith, I can see none." "That is matter for the private conscience," broke in Captain Alan. "Pardon me," suggested the Doctor; "you promised me a narrative, I believe." "We'll...

The Wolf Hunters

CURWOOD, JAMES OLIVER

A procession of the damned, Fort says as he begins this book. By damned, he means excluded. . . . "We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded. "Battalions of the accursed, captained by pallid data that I have exhumed, will march. You'll read them -- or they'll march. Some of them livid and some of them fiery and some of them rotten. "Some of them are corpses, skeletons, mummies, twitching, tottering, animated by companions that have been damned alive. There are giants that will walk by, though sound asleep. There are things that are theorems and things that are rags: they'll go by like Euclid arm in arm with the spirit of anarchy. Here and there will flit little harlots. Many are clowns. But many are of the highest respectability. Some are assassins. There are pale stenches and gaunt superstitions and mere shadows and lively malices: whims and amiabilities. The naïve and the pedantic and the bizarre and the grotesque and the sincere and the insincere, the profound and the puerile. "A stab and a laugh and the patiently folded hands of hopeless propriety."
