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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

And the tall rice closed about the canoe and folded it, as it were, in a cool shadow. The sisters McMoultrie were at the chemist's, inside the shop this time; and at sight of me each made haste to swallow something that she had in her mouth. The elder gagged and I burst out laughing. "Gum?" I asked. "No," cried the younger indignantly, "what do you take us for? They were bull's-eyes. You hold them in your mouth until they melt, and then you don't." "Yours melted mighty sudden," I said. The elder McMoultrie put her hand to her throat and said dismally, " I wish mine would. Mine's stuck." "You ladies appear to live here," I said. But no. It was Granny as usual. Last time Granny had been out of quinine for the shakes; this time it w fever, and she was all out of phenacetin.l They could never keep drugs in the house two minutes. Where drugs were concerned Granny was like a swarm of locusts out of the Bible, devouring evY erything. I should see their garden wall. It was a hundred years old, but it looked like new. Granny had licked all the phosphorus off the bricks. Grow simples in the garden? Well, one should rather think one tried. But to what end? As well turn the place full of goats and rabbits. And so much talk at Granny's expense, and much eye-work at mine; so much so that when I finally departed with th...

Excerpt from When My Ship Comes InUp and down the room there paced a man of forty; he dragged his left foot slightly and kept combing a thicket of unnaturally black hair straight up with the long, White fingers of his left hand. He appeared to be lashed into a sort of fury. He kept shouting: She won't do! She won't do! She won't do!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Voice in the RiceThe night came on monstrously rough and Windy, but clear. I remem ber how when the S. S. Major Pickins rolled, the stars flew past my port like streams of sparks from the smokestack of a locomotive. You weren't safe in your berth, or out of it. We had on board a number of horses, with their grooms, bound for New York from various Winter resorts in the South, and during a particularly violent lurch of the vessel one of these poor beasts fell and splintered its leg, and could be heard screaming with the pain, like a lost soul, until mercifully put to death. The passengers were mostly servants of Northern families, and whether they were more sick than fright ened, or more frightened than Sick, was a question for a more experienced seafarer than myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
