Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 55: January to June, 1893Oh, Charles E I only went out to take a message to the cottage. And she knows I might have been back in ten minutes. Indeed I must hasten in.He opened his umbrella, which he had brought with him, for rain had been threatening all the morning; and, causing her to take his arm, held it over her.

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.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 47: January to June, 1889IT was a May-day and the Wind was not in the east. The little wind there was blew softly and gently from the south, and down in the valley the weather was warm and genial.Some people might have found it too warm inside the smithy, at three O'clock in the afternoon, to be pleasant. Nevertheless, Reuben Foreman, as he stood at his anvil wielding mightily his heavy sledge with movement slow and rhythmical, was subject to several interrup tions before the hooter Of a neighbouring cloth mill announced that it was six O'clock and the day's work at an end.And as not everyone in Woodford was either so busy or so industrious as the blacksmith, several of his visitors lingered to gossip as long as he bore with them, in spite of the heat. But Reuben took such contingencies into consideration, and in ar ranging his programme Of work for the day, left a margin wide enough to cover all the horses he would be called upon to shoe, and the fools he would be in duty bound to converse with.For the horses had hoofs to be shod, and the fools had souls to be saved; and Reuben, in his own Opinion and in that of his neighbours, was clever in both these occupations, widely different as they were, though occasionally both were performed at the same moment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 53: January to June, 1892I went up for honours, dear aunt, and gained them. SO I can afford myself a holiday. At which satisfactory information, Lady Pope vouchsafed nothing but an unsatisfactory grunt.The two gentlemen were speedily immersed in college politics, reminiscences to Sir Henry, realities to Arthur Ashley. Sir Henry had never gained university honours, had never tried for them, but he was delighted that Arthur, his presumptive heir, should do so.

Sir Henry had taken to him years ago, and brought him up as such.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 29: January to June, 1880By the bedside sat his favourite nephew and heir, whose christian name was also Gilbert. He was a young man of three or four and twenty with a face which, allowing for the difference in their years, was, both in character and features, singularly like that of his uncle. Gilbert the younger was not, and never had been, a handsome man; but his face was instinct with power, it expressed strength Of will, and a sort Of high, resolute defiance Of fortune in whatever guise she might present herself. This young man carried a riding-whip in his hand; on a table near, lay a pair of buckskin gloves. He wore Hessian boots with tassels, and a bottle-green riding coat much braided and befrogged. His vest was of striped nankin, and he carried two watches with a huge bunch of seals pendant from each of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
