Excerpt from The Magnet: A RomanceOne saw at the first glance that the Shark was less of a pleasure-craft than a floating home, and such a domicile she had truly been for fifteen years. Asthma and an insubordinate heart had retired her owner from the service of his country; the same affliction forbade his residence ashore and com pelled him to seek a warm winter climate. Where fore, he wisely bought the Shark for a mere song, and made of her a home for himself and his three little motherless daughters: Cécile, aged nine; Paula, aged seven, and Hermione, aged four.That was fifteen years before the epoch of this saga, so that we find our three sirens at the dan gerous ages of from nineteen to twenty-four. Little heed had their cantankerous parent ever given them, and little need had they of it, as from the very first day to the present, they had found a wise and kindly nurse, playmate, and duenna in that splendid old grizzled viking, Christian Held strom, Master Mariner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Closing NetMY friend, it's my belief that when it rains every third drop lands on a crook. You've no idea what a lot there are, and the only wonder is how they make a living. But your most dangerous crook is the gen tleman variety, and that was easy for me because my father's family was about the best in the United States, barring only my mother's. His stock was pure English and hers Dutch; you'll find both names in the school histories; both families had signers of the Declaration. They were both thoroughbreds, all right. The only trouble was that they were never married, and that made a lot of trouble for me, afterwards.I spent the first six years of my life in a pretty little cottage down Boston way, and about the only person I saw was my old nursery governess, Ma'm'selle Durand, or Tante pi-pi, as I called her. Then, as far as I could make out, my father lost his fortune and his nerve at the same time, and they found him in his library dead. That settled my mother, and a little later Tante pi-fi faded away, and I found myself bawling my lungs open in the state asylum for orphans.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
