This Etext was produced by Eve Sobol, South Bend, Indiana, USA HOW HE LIED TO HER HUSBAND by GEORGE BERNARD SHAW PREFACE Like many other works of mine, this playlet is a piece d’occasion. In 1905 it happened that Mr Arnold Daly, who was then playing the part of Napoleon in The Man of Destiny in New York, found that whilst the play was too long to take a secondary place in the evening’s performance, it was too short to suffice by itself....

LUCILE by Owen Meredith “Why, let the stricken deer go weep. The hart ungalled play: For some must watch, while some must sleep; Thus runs the world away.” Hamlet. DEDICATION. TO MY FATHER. I dedicate to you a work, which is submitted to the public with a diffidence and hesitation proportioned to the novelty of the effort it represents. For in this poem I have abandoned those forms of verse with which I had most familiarized my thoughts, and have endeavored to follow a path on which I could discover no footprints before me, either to guide or to warn....

MORNINGS IN FLORENCE By JOHN RUSKIN, M.A. MORNINGS IN FLORENCE. THE FIRST MORNING.SANTA CROCE. If there is one artist, more than another, whose work it is desirable that you should examine in Florence, supposing that you care for old art at all, it is Giotto. You can, indeed, also see work of his at Assisi; but it is not likely you will stop there, to any purpose. At Padua there is much; but only of one period....

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER BY MARK TWAIN (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) Part 4 CHAPTER XIII TOM’S mind was made up now. He was gloomy and desperate. He was a forsaken, friendless boy, he said; nobody loved him; when they found out what they had driven him to, perhaps they would be sorry; he had tried to do right and get along, but they would not let him; since nothing would do them but to be rid of him, let it be so; and let them blame HIM for the consequences–why shouldn’t they?...
