  • The Argosy, Vol. 51: January to June, 1891

    Charles W. Wood

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Feb. 2, 2018)
    Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 51: January to June, 1891The late owner of the place (except for one short twelvemonth) was old James Monk, Godfrey's father. Old James had three sons and one daughter - Emma - his wife dying early. The eldest son (mostly styled young James )was about as wild a blade as ever figured in story; the second son, Raymond, was an invalid; the third, Godfrey, a reckless lad, ran away to sea when he was four teen.If the Monks were celebrated for one estimable quality more than another, it was temper a cross-grained, imperious, obstinate temper. Run away to sea, has he? Cried Old James when he heard the news; very well, at sea he shall stop. And at sea Godfrey did stop, not disliking the life, and perhaps not finding any other open to him. He worked his way up in the merchant service by degrees, until he became commander and was called Captain Monk.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

  • The Argosy, Vol. 30: July to December, 1880

    Mrs. Henry Wood

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Jan. 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 30: July to December, 1880The world seemed to take it for granted that Miss Winter would marry. As yet there was no rumour of her being engaged, but as there were several eligible men, bachelors, in the neighbourhood, speculators were much exercised in their minds as to the chances of this, that, or the other one becoming the favoured individual. They all fervently hoped that Mrs. Carlyon would not drag her niece away to London, as she seemed to wish to do, or else there would be no knowing what might become of her. It would be dreadful for such a prize to fall to the lot of a stranger.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pausing for a moment on the edge of the Staircase, he flung his hat aside, buttoned his coat, and then, instinctively, turned up his cuffs. Then he went down on his hands and knees, and was just lowering one leg over the edge Of the cliff, when his collar was roughly seized, and a hoarse voice growled in his ear: In heaven's name, Mr. Dering, what are you about?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

  • The Argosy, Vol. 22: July to December, 1876

    Mrs. Henry Wood

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 24, 2019)
    Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 22: July to December, 1876The music and the wax-lights, the flowers and the evergreens rendered the rooms at Sir Philip Stane's a scene of enchantment. At least it seemed so to Alice Raynor as she entered upon it. Something that you might read about in fairyland, but scarcely see in this prosaic life. William Stane stood near the door, and caught her hand as she and Charles were following their father and mother.The first dance is for me, remember, Alice, he whispered. And her pretty cheeks flushed and a half conscious smile of assent parted her lips, as she passed on to Lady Stane.Lady Stane, a stout and kindly woman in emerald green, received her kindly. She suspected that this young lady might become her daughter-in-law some day or another, and she looked at her more critically than She had ever looked before. Alice could bear the inspection to-night: her new white dress was beautiful; her face was charming, her manner was modest and graceful. The most lady like girl in the room, mentally decided Lady Stane, and no doubt will have a fair purse of money. William might do worse.William Stane thought he might do very much worse. T here's no doubt he was truly attached to Alice. Not perhaps in the wild and ardent manner which some lovers own to all natures are not capable of that: but he did love her, and hoped that when he married it was she who would be his wife. He was not ready to marry yet. He was progressing in his profession, but with the proverbial slowness that is said to attend the advancement of barristers; and he did not mean to speak just at present. Meanwhile he was quite content to make love tacitly; and he felt sure that his intentions were understood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
