Excerpt from Bourbon Lilies: A Story of Artist LifeVan shook his head hopelessly, and his cosmo politan questioner next addressed him in a, to Van, utterly incomprehensible language, which he fancied Portuguese, if indeed it were not Arabic, or perhaps it might be modern Greek. It turned out to be Russian, and the gentleman's native tongue; but poor Van would probably never have known this if the next attempt at conversation had not been couched in perfect English.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Three Vassar Girls Abroad: Rambles of Three College Girls on a Vacation Trip Through France and Spain for Amusement and Instruction; With Their Haps and MishapsVechten, and Barbara Atchison. They had moored their boat under the willows, and while other girls improved their hour of exercise by quick pulling up and down the pond, they discussed an important project in the privacy of their green-canopied, water-paved arbor. Vacation was approaching, and plans for the summer were now the absorbing topics of conversation. Maud sat in the stern, her pretty face silhouetted darkly against the radiant disc of a Japanese umbrella, which, with the sunlight filtering through, had all the effect of a rose-window. It was she who had called her two dearest friends tosecret conclave to inform them that her arrange ments were happily settled. She was to go to Europe with her sister, Mrs. Arnold, who proposed to spend the summer in travel, and to meet her husband, a naval Officer, at Nice, in the winter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"If that's so, Miss Noakes has bigger feet than I ever gave her credit for," Polo replied; "and she wears boots too." "Then those cadets have actually dared!" Winnie exclaimed, and Milly gave a little shriek. "Oh, that horrid Stacey Fitz Simmons!" "Hush!" commanded Winnie. "We will make them wish they had never been born. Oh, I will manage these gay young gentlemen. Go back to your post, Polo. Keep the door locked, and be sure that no one leaves except in the regular order and conducted by her guide." A few moments later and the curtains were drawn at the close of the final act, tremendous applause testifying the approval of the audience. Winnie now stepped to the front of the curtain and announced that the ghosts must now each submit once more to be blindfolded and "to be led through the grewsome and labyrinthine catacombs to the Feast of the Ghouls." Little Breeze and Milly first led away two of the girls, and then Winnie stepped boldly up to the taller of the two suspected intruders and offered to blindfold him. The rogue could only follow the example of those who had preceded him, and submit with a good grace, as any other course would have led to detection. I followed with the shorter impostor, tying the handkerchief very tight, and detecting the odor of cigarettes as I did so. Winnie beckoned to me to follow, and conducted her victim to the root cellar, a dark, unwholesome little room, with a small grated window--a veritable dungeon. We led our prisoners into the centre of this gloomy cell, and, making them kneel on the cemented floor, bade them remain ...

Madame had made abundant provision for sickness in the original arrangement of the school building. A large skylighted room had been set apart as an infirmary, and a little suite of rooms in the great tower adjoining as the physician’s quarters. But it was rare indeed that any one was ill at Madame’s, and when a pupil was taken sick, her parents usually took her home at once. So the doctor, having nothing to do but to hear the recitations in physiology, preferred not to reside in the school building, and the pretty suite of rooms, consisting of a parlor and three bedrooms, was assigned to us, and the hospital proper was used as a trunk room. Winnie always maintained that ghosts of medical students experimented there in the night watches on imaginary cases of vivisection, that corpses were embalmed, and shrieks and howls were to be heard, in the wee small hours, while phantom lights fumed blue on the other side of the transom, and sickly odors of ether and other drugs penetrated through the keyhole.
