Excerpt from Out in the Storm: Or, Little MessengersAt last the chair was placed by his side, and the frightened little girl stood waiting for further orders. Surely father was getting worse instead of better, she thought; for he never used to be quite like this.She had to wait some time, for even when he had all things ready, there was no' strength to make the journey across that small room. Twice he sank back on his bed, too weak to make the necessary effort.You must call your mother if there ain't any customers there, he said at last, and the child ran off to the shop below.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Reds of the Midi: An Episode of the French RevolutionIt is this point of view, with its necessarily highly objective scheme of treatment, which gives to M. Gras's story a place entirely apart from all the fiction of the French Revolution with which I am acquainted. Ordinarily - be cause it is so much easier to do - writers of stories of this period prefer to make them with Aristocrats for heroes and heroines; and, done that way, it certainly is very easy indeed to ex cite sympathy and to achieve lurid dramatic effect. But the more difficult way that M. Gras has chosen, and in choosing has cast aside deliberately so much Of the easily-manip.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... nor the principle of the thing." "Do you mean to say father has ever forbidden me?" "Perhaps not in so many words." "Do you think he would have, if I had waited to ask him?" "I believe so." "I did not do it as an act of disobedience," said 106 Hugh, "and your making it out so is horrid. I thought I was free to take it if I liked, so long as I didn't take much." John sat down by the fire, his face grave and troubled. "Hugh," he exclaimed, in a beseeching tone, "say you won't be tempted to take it again till father comes home. Oh, Hugh, I would give everything I possess if you hadn't!" Hugh was silent. In his present mood he did not feel inclined to promise. "Where's the harm?" he asked at last.

Do as much as that for me, John." "I think I may promise that," answered John. "Hugh, we've had such a beautiful sermon this morning on, 'Able to keep you from falling;' it has helped me ever so much." Then John left the room, and Hugh got up and walked round the table, and stood in front of the new frame: he stood long and silently, and did not move till the others came in. "You are not...
