It was as if some fairy had shaken her hand over the room, and let fall pleasant things everywhere. On the Marseilles quilt a gorgeous silk coverlet lay folded. On the dressing-table a confusion of vases and bottles, in coloured glass and painted china, were mixed up with combs and brushes and fans and watch pockets and taper stands. The table in the middle of the floor was heaped with elegant books and trinkets and work-boxes and writing implements; and book stands and book shelves were about, and soft foot cushions were dropped on the carpet, and easy arm-chairs stood conveniently, and some faint perfume breathed all through the room. Mrs. Candy was in one arm-chair and Clarissa in another. [mehr]

day long, the more the better: at night set some small weight, as may stay the Boy, as a Ship lyeth at Anchor, till the Fish taketh. For the River, you must turn all loose with the streame; two or three be sufficient to shew pleasure, gaged at such a depth as they will go currant downe the River; there is no doubt of sport, if there be Pikes: for the hooks, they must be doubled books, the shanks should be somewhat shorter than ordinary: my reason is, the shorter the hook is of the shank, it will hurt the live Fish the lesse, and must be armed with small wyre well softned; but I hold a hook armed with twisted silk to be better, for it will hurt the live fish least.

Pat stieg ein und fuhr davon. Silks Blick hing gespannt an ihrem Gesicht, und als sie fragend in der Richtung zu Spains Haus deutete, nickte er zustimmend. Es dauerte nur wenige Minuten, bis sie sich dem kleinen Anwesen auf dem schlecht instand gehaltenen, holprigen Zufahrtsweg näherten, dessen Abflussrinnen von welkem, faulem Laub und abgebrochenen Ästen verstopft waren. Sie hielt vor dem Eingang, und Silk öffnete die Wagentür, um auszusteigen, als von der anderen Seite her eine Stimme erschallte...

There were once two farmer men who were brothers. Both of them worked hard in seed-time and in harvest-time. They stood knee-deep in water to plant out the young rice, bending their backs a thousand times an hour; they wielded the sickle when the hot sun shone; when the rain poured down in torrents, there they were still at their digging or such like, huddled up in their rice-straw rain coats, for in the sweat of their brows did they eat their bread. The elder of the two brothers was called Cho. For all he laboured so hard he was passing rich. From a boy he had had a saving way with him, and had put by a mint of money. He had a big farm, too, and not a year but that he did well, what with his rice, and his silk-worms, and his granaries and storehouses. But there was nothing to show for all this, if it will be believed. He was a mean, sour man with not so much as a “good day” and a cup of tea for a wayfarer, or a cake of cold rice for a beggar man. His children whimpered when he came near them, and his wife was much to be pitied. The younger of the two brothers was called Kanè. For all he laboured so hard he was as poor as a church mouse. Bad was his luck, his silk-worms died, and his rice would not flourish. In spite of this he was a merry fellow, a bachelor who loved a song and an honest cup of saké. His roof, his pipe, his meagre supper, all these he would share, very gladly, with the first-comer. He had the nimblest tongue for a comical joke, and the kindest heart in the world. But it is a true thing, though it is a pity all the same, that a man cannot live on love and laughter, and presently Kanè was in a bad way………. [mehr]

With All The Irony Of Luck, Colonel Grand Brought Fair Weather. It Was As If He Had Ordered the Sun To Shine And It Obeyed him. When The Mud-Covered wagons Rumbled into Town After Their Tortuous Twenty-Mile Journey, The Sun Was High And The Skies Were Clear And All The World Seemed to Be Singing with The Birds. David Had Prepared mrs. Braddock And Christine; They Looked for The Colonel On The Station Platform As The Train Rolled in. He Was There, Waiting, As If Directed by Providence, At The Foot Of The Steps Which Mrs. Braddock Was To Descend. He Had Eyes For No One Until She Appeared in the Car Door. Then His Ugly Smile Projected itself; His Silk Hat Came Off And He Bowed low. One Knowing the Innermost Workings Of Colonel Grand'S Mind Would Have Understood The Profoundness Of That Bow. He Was Giving her Time To Collect Herself; He Was, On His Own Part, Deliberately Evading the Look Of Repugnance He Knew So Well Would Leap Into Her Eyes At The First Glimpse Of Him. [mehr]

My grand-grandparents had in their house a servant they brought long time before from Mexico. Her name was Freda. She had a big overflowing breast. Before she would put me to bed she’d take me in her arms and set my nose between her tits. I’ll take a plunge there and get asleep very fast against my will. She smelled always like cayenne pepper mixed with basil. Sometimes before I went to sleep I could see a beautiful woman that grand-grandpa would call “the Blond Harlot” getting in and out of the pub. Most of the time she was dressed in black, with a low cut silk blouse and a short skirt - so short that I could see her panties - and wearing high hills shoes that made her look like she was stepping on hot coals. The warm breeze in the evening made me feel better than the midday hot wind. Then the warm breeze faded away to get replaced by a sandy wind. Within minutes the town got deserted. It was like the whole thing that used to move around would retire to rest. No more voices or laughs or curses: lights of the pub and houses around would gently go to sleep under blinds and rags.

This book covers politics, economics, foreign policy matters, sports fixes, etc. The premises of argument is that Sept-11 was a hoax engineered by the inside rogues in USA under the guidance of CIA-Pentagon duo and Zionist elements deciding policies for Americans. The main objectives of Sept-11 included invasion of Islamizing Afghanistan, wage war on Islam, defaming it as a terrorist religion, occupation of energy rich nations, killing of Muslims in millions, looting the resources form Islamic world, control energy resources of Mideast and Central Asia, control the old Silk Road for trade, Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism" Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by anti-Islam rogue agencies. Fake democracies have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Islamic forces are harming genuine interests of Muslims by employing Muslim agents. Humanity has a right to know the truth. [mehr]

The Awakening, originally titled A Solitary Soul, is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and the Southern Louisiana coast at the end of the nineteenth century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating mixed reaction from contemporary readers and criticism. The novel's blend of realistic narrative, incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes The Awakening a precursor of American modernist literature; it prefigures the works of American novelists such as William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway and echoes the works of contemporaries such as Edith Wharton and Henry James. It can also be considered among the first Southern works in a tradition that would culminate with the modern masterpieces of Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Katherine Anne Porter, and Tennessee Williams.

"I'Ve Never Kept Up My Interest So Long In anything as In this War," Said A Woman Who Sat Beside Me At Dinner When I Was Home From The Front In The Winter Of 1915-16. Since Then I Have Wondered if My Reply, "Admirable Mental Concentration!" Was Not Ironic At The Expense Of Manners And Philosophy. In view Of The Thousands Who Were Dying in Battle Every Day, Her Remark Seemed as Heartless As It Was Superficial And In keeping with The Riotous Joy Of Living and Prosperity Which Strikes Every Returned american With Its Contrast To Europe'S Self-Denial, Emphasized by Such Details Gained by Glimpses In the Shop Windows Of Fifth Avenue As The Exhibit Of A Pair Of Ladies' Silk Hose Inset With Lace, Price One Hundred dollars. Meanwhile, She Was Knitting socks Or Mufflers, I Forget Which, For The Allies. Her Confusion About War News Was Common To The Whole Country, Which Heard The Special Pleading of Both Sides Without Any Cross-Questioning by An Attorney. She Remarked how The Allies' Bulletins Said That The Allies Were Winning and The German Bulletins That The Germans Were Winning; But So Far As She Could See On The Map The Armies Remained in much The Same Positions And The Wholesale Killing continued.

The Little Lady of Lagunitas: A Franco-Californian Romance was originally published in 1892. Richard Henry Savage (1846-1903) was a soldier, engineer, diplomat, lawyer, novelist, civic leader and war hero. He graduated from West Point and became part of the Army Corp of Engineers. He worked on the Texas-Mexico frontier and as a chief engineer on a railroad in California. He wrote over 40 books. Savage died when he was run over by a horse-drawn wagon while crossing Sixth Avenue in New York City. An excerpt reads, "Cannons roar: the yells of the green jacket and yellow scrape brigade rise on the silent reaches of the Punta de los Pinos. A procession winds up to the Carmel Mission. Governor Alvarado, his staff, the leading citizens, the highest families, and the sefioritas attend a mass of thanksgiving. Attired in light muslins, with here and there a bright-colored shawl giving a fleck of color, and silk kerchiefs --fleecy--the ladies' only other ornaments are the native flowers which glitter on the slopes of Monterey Bay. Bevies of dark-eyed girls steal glances at Andres, Ramon, or Jose, while music lends a hallowing charm to the holy father's voice as he bends before the decorated altar." [mehr]
