Gentlemen,—In the volume now in your hands,the authors have touched upon that ugly devil of crime,with which it is your glory to have contended. Itwere a waste of ink to do so in a serious spirit. Let us dedicate our horror to acts of a more mingledstrain, where crime preserves some features ofnobility, and where reason and humanity can still relis...
It is within the bounds of possibility that you may take upthis volume, and yet be unacquainted with its predecessor: thefirst series of New ArabianNights. The loss is yours—and mine; or to bemore exact, my publishers’. But if you are thusunlucky, the least I can do is to pass you a hint. When youshall find a reference in the following pages to one...
In the city of encounters, the Bagdad of the West, and, to bemore precise, on the broad northern pavement of Leicester Square,two young men of five- or six-and-twenty met after years ofseparation. The first, who was of a very smooth address andclothed in the best fashion, hesitated to recognise the pinchedand shabby air of his companion. ‘What!’ he...
THE SQUIRE OF DAMES
Mr. Edward Challoner had set up lodgings in the suburb ofPutney, where he enjoyed a parlour and bedroom and the sincereesteem of the people of the house. To this remote home hefound himself, at a very early hour in the morning of the nextday, condemned to set forth on foot. He was a young man ofa portly habit; no lover of the exercises of the body; bland,sedentary, patient of delay, a prop of omnibuses. Inhappier days he would have chartered a cab; but these luxurieswere now denied him; and w...
p.27STORY OF THE DESTROYING ANGEL
My father was a native of England, son of a cadet of a great,ancient, but untitled family; and by some event, fault ormisfortune, he was driven to flee from the land of his birth andto lay aside the name of his ancestors. He sought theStates; and instead of lingering in effeminate cities, pushed atonce into the far West with an exploring party offrontiersmen. He was no ordinary traveller; for he was notonly brave and impetuous by character, but learned in manysciences, and above all in botany...
What with the lady’s animated manner and dramaticconduct of her voice, Challoner had thrilled to every incidentwith genuine emotion. His fancy, which was not perhaps of avery lively character, applauded both the matter and the style;but the more judicial functions of his mind refused assent. It was an excellent story; and it might be true, but he b...
THE SUPERFLUOUS MANSION
Mr. Paul Somerset was a young gentleman of a lively and fieryimagination, with very small capacity for action. He wasone who lived exclusively in dreams and in the future: thecreature of his own theories, and an actor in his ownromances. From the cigar divan he proceeded to parade thestreets, still heated with the fire of his eloquence, andscouting upon every side for the offer of some fortunateadventure. In the continual stream of passers-by, on thesealed fronts of houses, on the posters tha...
p. 108NARRATIVE OF THE SPIRITED OLDLADY
I was the eldest daughter of the Reverend Bernard Fanshawe,who held a valuable living in the diocese of Bath andWells. Our family, a very large one, was noted for asprightly and incisive wit, and came of a good old stock wherebeauty was an heirloom. In Christian grace of character wewere unhappily deficient. From my earliest years I saw anddeplored the defects of those relatives whose age and positionshould have enabled them to conquer my esteem; and while I wasyet a child, my father married...
As soon as the old lady had finished her relation, Somersetmade haste to offer her his compliments. ‘Madam,’ said he, ‘your story is not onlyentertaining but instructive; and you have told it with infinitevivacity. I was much affected towards the end, as I held atone time very liberal opinions, and should certainly have joineda secret society if I ...
