Excerpt from Quite Alone, Vol. 2 of 3 A burst of laughter broke from a balcony overhead as Lily and her protectress entered the large handsome mansion; and the child, looking upward, could see a number of gentlemen con gregated outside, who were leaning over the rail ings, and were very grandly dressed, and appeared to be enjoying themselves very much. By Jove cried one of the gentlemen - but this Lily could not hear She's come! And brought the little one with her, too. She said she would; for propriety's sake.

Book Description
Excerpt from Quite Alone, Vol. 1 of 3 The concluding portion of these volumes - that is to say, from page 185, vol. iii., to the end - is not mine. "Quite Alone" has been finished during my absence from England by "another hand." It is now my duty, in fairness to the public, and in justice to my publishers and myself, briefly and candidly to explain how it has come about that a work put forth under my name contains many pages not written by me. I will at once drop the convenient, but very frequently disingenuous, plea of ill health. I was, it is true, when I left this country more than a year since, exceedingly unwell, and have had since then several attacks of influenza, a calenture or two, a low fever, and a touch of what seemed to be premonitory of the vomito negro; but, on the whole, I have been no more an invalid than could be expected in the case of a traveller rushing from one trying climate to another, and have, thank God, "kept my health" in a remarkable degree. When I quitted home, in November, 1863, the novel of "Quite Alone" was about half finished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Record of a Girlhood, Vol. 3 of 3 In the evening went with my mother to a party at old Lady Cork's. We started for our assembly within a few minutes of Sunday morning. Such rooms - such ovens! Such boxes full of fine folks and foul air! In which we stood and sat, and looked and listened, and talked nonsense and heard it talked, and perspired and smothered and suffocated. On our arrival, as I was going upstairs, I was nearly squeezed at against the wall by her potent grace, the Duchess of St. Albans. We remained half an hour in the steaming atmosphere of the drawing rooms, and another half-hour in the freezing hall before the carriage could be brought up; caught a dreadful cold and came home; did not get to bed till two o'clock, with an intolerable face-ache and tooth ache, the well-earned reward of a well-spent evening.

Excerpt from Hard Cash, Vol. 3 of 3 About midnight, after a short slumber, the sufferer became uneasy, and begged to be left with Julia. J ulia was sent for, and found her a good deal ex cited. She inquired more than once if they were quite alone, and then asked for paper and a pencil. She wrote a few lines, and made Julia put them in a cover and seal them. Now dear friend, she said, promise me not to open this, nor even to let your mother, it is not for your happiness that what I have written should be seen by her or you, no, no, much better not. Come; dear friend, pledge me your honour. J 11118. Pledged her honour. Then Jane wrote on the cover, From a dying sister. Julia saw that, and wept sore.

Book Description
The publication of Robinson Crusoe in London in 1719 marked the arrival of a revolutionary art form: the novel. British writers were prominent in shaping the new type of storytelling - one which reflected the experiences of ordinary people, with characters in whom readers could find not only an escape, but a deeper understanding of their own lives. But the novel was more than just a reflection of British life. As Sebastian Faulks explains in this engaging literary and social history, it also helped invent the British. By focusing not on writers but on the people they gave us, Faulks not only celebrates the recently neglected act of novelistic creation baplaudsut shows how the most enduring fictional characters over the centuries have helped map the British psyche. In this ebook, Sebastian celebrates the greatest heroes in fiction - from Tom Jones to Sherlock Holmes. Also included are three classic novels: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe: The legendary story of a shipwreck on a desert island. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray: The story of a young woman's spectacular rise and fall as she gambles, manipulates and seduces her way through high society and the Napoleonic wars. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle: Sherlock Holmes' most famous case as he uncovers the truth behind the terrifying legend of a supernatural hound which preys upon the cursed Baskerville family.
