She showed that she was doing her best to mask the retreat of the tenor by limbering up and bringing into action all the heavy artillery within the compass of her piano, and she was smiling so good-naturedly all the time that soon the cat-calls and cock-crowing merged into applause. When she rose from the instrument with a laugh, and took her call, nodding to the boys in the distance, she received an ovation, and made a graceful retreat to a chair just below the altos of the chorus.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Priscilla and Charybdis: A Story of Alternatives What Morley Quorn could not understand was why people made such a fuss over that fellow Kelton. Who was Kelton anyway that he should give himself airs, he enquired with some insistence of the five "bassi" - they were labelled "bassi" in the programme - who were lounging about the door of the schoolroom where the rehearsal for the concert was being held. "He does give himself airs, doesn't he?" growled another of the same division of the chorus. The rest shook their heads gloomily. It was denied to them to express themselves adequately on this point, the fact being that the Reverend Edwin Tucknott, the curate of St. Joan of Arc, was standing hard by with his flute. The proximity of the clergyman checked complete freedom of speech, including "language," among the young men, for they failed to recollect that in the due performance of that portion of his sacred office known as the Commination Service he went much further than the most highly qualified basso could go even when he found it necessary to describe the absurdities of another and more popular vocalist. Mr. Tucknott smiled his olive branch smile in the direction of the "bassi." "I suppose it is natural for a tenor to give himself airs," he remarked. The instant he had spoken he glanced around in rather a shaky way. He had a feeling that he had gone a little too far.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Paths of Judgement" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a romance novel about two women in love with the same man. Excerpt: "MRS. CUTHBERT MERRICK, erect in her shining dogcart, watched the stout pony's indolent advance with severity, but with forbearance. The road was steep and the day hot. Far below, the ascent began among beech-woods that climbed from gentle valleys; than came the pine-trees, casting blue-black shadows across the dusty road, and when the hill-top was reached the lighter shade of lime and birch and beech again dappled the sunny whiteness."
