Excerpt from Helen Treveryan, Vol. 3 of 3: Or the Ruling RaceFor more than a week this state of affairs continued without much change. The force could hardly be said to be shut up. Troops moved out frequently, and when they did so the enemy at once gave ground. Occasionally messengers got through their lines into or out of the cantonment. The bare plain to the north and north-west was always open to our cavalry, who were out daily. Nor were the enemy's efforts very vehement. All day long they fired away, and after a day or two the fire grew heavier, and there were more casualties; but they made no real attempt to dislodge us. At sunset the firing stopped, and though every night an attack was expected, no attack was delivered. Nevertheless the force was fairly paralysed, and the position was sufficiently humiliating. The city was in the occupation of the insurgents, who were gutting the houses of our friends, and even our outlying forts had been abandoned. If our troops sallied out and drove the enemy back a few hundred yards, they reoccupied their former positions as our men retired. The victorious force had been brought to bay. We had received a severe lesson, if an old one; we had despised our enemy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Helen Treveryan, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the Ruling RaceUnfortunately the Squire was not free from some dangerous qualities. He had a strong will, with un deniable talent and originality of mind; but his judg ment was not altogether trustworthy, and his reckless disregard for money had Often been a trouble to his wife. It was not extravagance of the ordinary type.He spent little on horses, or Shooting, or dress, or wine, or any of the usual luxuries. He rarely drank anything but water, and though he had a magnificent appetite he liked the plainest of food; and in every way his tastes were very simple. But he seemed to look upon money as a worthless thing, to be given away with the most lavish generosity if any one wanted it, and to be spent without limit or calculation upon any object which might for the moment have aroused his interest. Hitherto the steady common sense of his wife had kept him within bounds; but now that she was gone he began to give himself more rein, and to enter upon schemes of which she would certainly have disapproved.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Star, 1911, Vol. 7: Published by the Literary Societies of Henderson College, Arkadelphia, ArkansasErence, is not certain, but this much is sure: trouble has already overtaken a fellow when he is elected editor of a College Annual especially if he is kind of a burn specimen anyway, (present company included.) A host of new and pressing duties suddenly settle down on his unprepared shoulders like a swarm of bees on a peach tree limb, and the more they press down the heavier they get. With his first awkward maneuvers, things go wrong so fast that his head swims, his knees tremble, his heart aches, and his hair turns grey. The stu dents laugh at hin the engravers lie down on.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
