The Joss - A Reversion

by Richard Marsh

Not twenty minutes afterwards a girl came in—a mere chit—who wanted some passementerie, beaded. She had brought a pattern. Somehow directly I saw it I thought there would be trouble.

Colin II - A Novel

by E. F. Benson

With the declining wheel of the sun to the west, the shadow of the great yew-hedge began to flow like some tide, dark and clear, over the paved terrace which since morning had basked in the blaze of the July day.

The Last Laugh

The Last Laugh

by D. H. Lawrence

Hampstead in the night of winter for once was looking pretty, with clean, white earth and lamps for moon, and dark sky above the lamps.A confused little sound of voices, a gleam of hidden yellow light. And then the garden door of a tall, dark Georgian house sudden..

The Overman

The Overman

by Upton Sinclair

This is the story of Edward, as he told it to me only a few days before he died; he told it as he lay half paralysed, and knowing that the hand of death was upon him. I am by profession a scientist. My story goes back some fifty years, when I was a student. I had one brother, Daniel, five years younger than myself, a musician of extraordinary ..

Don Miguel Lehumada: discoverer of liquid from the sun's rays

by Sue Greenleaf

On the morning our story opens he had finished his regular rounds of tidying the reception-chamber, and was at work in a small alcove room adjoining, on the properties extracted from the sun’s rays, by means of a glass chemical instrument. At the focus the rays were liquidized, separated, and blended into “Memory Fluid.”Although the analysis under ..
