Books with author David L. Porter

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

"I can't wait." I sank into my seat. "Let's see what's in my lunch-pouch--Dirck usually shines in a case like this." I turned toward the door. "Miss Finney, please don't bother about Hello! she's gone." "Yes--she's probably halfway down the hill by this time." "Well, then, we'll open Pandora's box." "All the troubles are already out," she said with a little sigh. "Even Hope isn't left." "Nell, I admit I'm revengeful, but let it all go--for this afternoon.

Now, do you recognize Hope when you see her?" "Yes. Everything looks simply delicious, doesn't it? And don't forget the tea, too, Craig. Don't burn yourself." "Never fear." I swept the teapot from the stove and poured Ellen a cup with a skill that made her clap her hands in mock admiration. "Do you prefer tea to chocolate? The thermos has held it just as hot, you know. Well, then, here's to you, Nell, and may you never be attacked by another bloodhound." She sipped her tea in acknowledgment of my toast. Her eyes were full of hazel lights, lights that dimmed a little as the grateful tea warmed her body and made her a wee bit drowsy. "The bloodhound, ugh! What do you suppose made him fly at us so?" she asked. "I don't know--natural bloodhoundishness, perhaps--unless it was that odd sound from the woods." "Did you hear th...
