Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ...for the good lady, and her nerves were soon quieted by a cup of tea. 'Ivan,' said Katie, when they had quite 'put away desire of eating and drinking,' and even Mrs. Russell had consumed two or three slices of cake and bread and butter, 'I will stay here with mamma if you will take Eleanor to the bottom of the waterfall. It is so pretty down there.' 'All right,' answered Ivan, jumping up. 'You are not afraid of a scramble, Miss Winton?' 'No, certainly not! I've not lost my Brittany legs yet,' she answered, with that English freedom in alluding to our vile bodies which horrifies Mr. Howells. 'Now, dear, do be careful. Ivan is so daring.' Eleanor nodded and laughed, and they disappeared over the side of the cliff. The path by the waterfall was not very difficult, and Eleanor was able to manage without the assistance of Ivan's hands and shoulders, which he offered her at every turn. 'You seem to prefer getting on alone,' he remarked at last in an injured voice, when Eleanor had for about the fiftieth time rejected the use of his limbs instead of her own. 'Well, I think I can manage better alone,' she answered frankly. 'I always know exactly what I can do and what I can't. But hadn't we better get across to that rock on the side, and then we can see the whole valley at once?' It was soon done, and then they sat down to rest, and to enjoy the waterfall edged by birches already necked with gold, and the ferns which grew luxuriantly in every cleft of the rocks. At their feet dashed the turbid little brown stream, still foaming from its leap, and below them lay the sea, looking deeply blue through the narrow opening of the ravine. 'What are you thinking of?' asked Ivan after some time, during which Eleanor had sat silently gazing at the waterfall. 'I was wondering h...

  • The Book of Princes and Princesses: "Developer Tales for Kids"

    Leonora Blanche Lang, H. J. Ford

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, April 26, 2018)
    PREFACE All the stories about Princes and Princesses in this book are true stories, and were written by Mrs. Lang, out of old books of history. There are some children who make life difficult by saying, first that stories about fairies are true, and that they like fairies; and next that they do not like true stories about real people, who lived long ago. I am quite ready to grant that there really are such things as fairies, because, though I never saw a fairy, any more than I have seen the little animals which lecturers call molecules and ions, still I have seen people who have seen fairies—truthful people. This book about Princes and Princesses is not one which a child is obliged to read. Indeed the stories are not put in order, beginning with the princes who lived longest ago and coming down gradually to people who lived nearest our own time. The book opens with the great Napoleon Bonaparte, who died when some very old people still living were alive. Napoleon was not born a prince, far from it; his father was only a poor gentleman on a wild rough little island. But he made himself not merely a king, but the greatest of all emperors and generals in war. He is not held up as a person whom every boy should try to imitate, but it is a truth that Napoleon always remained a boy in his heart. He liked to make up stories of himself, doing wonderful things which even he was unable to do. When he was a boy he played at being a general, making snow fortresses and besieging them, just as many boys do. And when he was a man he dreamed of conquering all the East, Asia, and India, and Australia; and he tried to do all that, but it was too much even for him.
