Excerpt from The Awakening of Helena RichieBenjamin Wright had not thanked Heaven when Dr. Lavendar drove away. He had been as disagree able as usual to his visitor, but being a very lonely old man he enjoyed having a visitor to Whom to be dis agreeable. He lived on his hilltop a mile out of Old Chester, with his nigger Simmons, his canary-birds, and his temper. More than thirty years before he had quarrelled with his only son Samuel, and the two men had not spoken to each other since. Old Chester never knew what this quarrel had been about; Dr. Lavendar, speculating upon it as he and Goliath went squashing through the mud that April afternoon, wondered which was to blame. Pot and kettle, probably, he de cided. Samuel's goodness is very irritating some times, and Benjamin's badness is - well, it's not as distressing as it Should be. But what a forlorn old critter he is! And this Mrs. Richie is lonely too-a widow, with no children, poor woman! I must call next week. Goliath wouldn't like to turn round now and climb the hill again. Danny, I fear Goliath is very selfish.Goliath's selfishness carried them home and landed Dr. Lavendar at his own fireside, rather tired and full of good intentions in regard to calls.

Excerpt from The Iron WomanHer foreboding was tempered by a giggle and by the deepening dimple in her cheek, but all the same she sighed with a sort of impersonal regret at the prospect of any unpleasantness. It would be too bad if I got mad; wouldn't it? She said thoughtfully. The others looked at one another in consternation. They knew so Well what it meant to have Elizabeth mad, that Nan~ nie Maitland, the Oldest of the little group, said at once, helplessly, Well.Nannie was always helpless with Elizabeth, just as She was helpless with her half-brother, Blair, though She was ten and Elizabeth and Blair were only eight, but how could a little girl like Nannie be anything but help less before a brother whom She adored, and a wonderful being like Elizabeth - Elizabeth!

And always, on the half-hour, the two mules went tinkling along, their neat little feet cupping down over the cobble stones, and their trace-chains swinging and sagging about their heels. The conductor on the car had been on the route so long that he knew many Of his patrons, and nodded to them in a friendly way, and said it was a good day, or too cold for the season; occasionally he imparted information which he thought might be Of interest to them.On this October afternoon of brown fog and occasional dashes Of rain he enlightened a lady with a vaguely sweet face, who signaled him to stop at no. 15.Miss Payton's out, he said, pulling the strap over his head and bringing his car to a standstill; but her ma's at home.
