Excerpt from Ting-a-Ling TalesPrincess, and asked her if she could tell him the shortest road to the baths, and if there was a good eating-house in the neighborhood. Now as this was the first time in her life that the Princess had been addressed by a young man, it is not surprising that she was too much aston ished to speak, especially as this youth was well dressed, extremely handsome, and of proud and dignified manners, although, to be sure, a little travel-stained and tired-looking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

My productions created no enthusiasm in the reading public; they gave me no great reputation or very valuable pecuniary return; but they were always accepted, and my receipts from them, at the time to which I have referred, were as regular and reliable as a salary, and quite sufficient to give me more than a comfortable support. It was at this time I married. I had...

They were not of that order of persons who geiierally take first-class passages on steamships, but the stateroom occupied by Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. A leshine was one of the best in the vessel; and although they kept very much to themselves, and showed no desire for the company or notice of the other passengers, they evidently considered themselves quite as good as any one else, and with as much right to voyage to any part of the world in any manner or style which pleased them. Mrs. Leeks was a rather tall woman, large-boned and muscular, and her well-browned countenance gave indications of that conviction of superiority which gradually grows up in the minds of those who for a long time have had absolute control of the destinies of a state, or the multifarious affairs of a country household.
