Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 48: July to December, 1889On his return from his honeymoon almost his first action was to go to the post-office and give directions that for the future all large parcels should be delivered in a large basket which had been received there, and freely commented on, a few days before. Much specula tion as to its probable use had exercised the postmistress, who took as kind and deep an interest in the letters, post-cards and telegrams which passed through her hands as country postmistresses usually do. This basket was duly provided with a padlock and two keys, one of which Mr. Ryot-tempest handed to the postmistress, and one he carefully fastened on his own private bunch.You'll be wanting an extra key for the post-bag now, sir, won't you i' asked the woman, who was anxious to discover on whose behalf this basket was introduced.No, said Mr. Ryot-tempest briefly but be careful that all the letters are sent in it. And when there are parcels send word, and my man shall call for the basket.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 52: July to December, 1891Janet's love for Captain George was as yet a timid, callow fledgeling that could do nothing but flutter in the nest where it was born. Very pretty to look at, but not to be looked at too Often, for fear lest its hiding-place should be found out and some rude hand should take it unawares. Her love for Sister Agnes was of a different texture, and made up the real quiet happiness of her life. She felt like a plant that has been lifted out of the cold corner in which it has found the elements of a stunted growth and set to bask in a flood of gracious sunshine. In such cases the result is not difficult to foretell. The plant grows more and more beautiful under the sweet influence that has been brought to bear upon it, and repays the sunshine with its most fragrant blossoms. In such-like was Janet's young life nourished and enriched by the love that existed between her and Sister Agnes. Her inner life developed itself unconsciously her heart grew in wisdom, and all the finer qualities of her nature began to unfold themselves one by one as delicate leaves unfold themselves in the sun.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.
