Excerpt from The Colonel's Story As I write of the Colonel, he seems to stand before me: handsome, deferential, and with a certain repose of bearing, ever the hall-mark of a gentleman. He was wont to say of himself, I am like a weather-beaten old oak: of small use in the landscape, but with a sheltering arm still, and, please God, a sound heart.

Excerpt from The Colonel's Christmas Dinner: And Other Stories When a man's in trouble, in nine cases out of ten, the quicker he tells his wife, the sooner it's over. The co10 nel went home overcome with the weight of his woe. For a moment his better half was, apparently, as prostrated as himself - no woman likes to have a dinner-party ruined, either by having too little to eat or too many to eat it but no sooner did she note his profound dejection, than she arose to the occasion. Never mind, Colonel, the missing dinner will turn up in time, and if it doesn't, we'll make them so welcome, after their hard trip, that anything will taste good. And then, you know, there's the champagne we were saving for Dot's wedding. It will cover a multitude of sins like charity. Don't you worry. I'll manage it.

Excerpt from The Little Colonel, Maid of Honor Whether she was a genius or not, one thing is certain, she spent hours of patient, painstaking work to make her writing measure up to the stand ard she had set for it. It was work that she loved better than play, however, and to - day she sighed regretfully when the hunter's horn, blowing on the upper terrace, summoned the school to its outdoor sports. Instantly, in answer to the winding call, the whole place began to awaken. There was a tread of many feet on the great staircase, the outer doors burst open, and a stream of rollicking girls poured out into the May sunshine.

Excerpt from The Story of the Red Cross: As Told to the Little Colonel Far away in the distance she could see the shining snow crown of Mont Blanc, and it gave her an odd feeling, as if she were living in a geography lesson, to know that she was bounded on one side by the famous Alpine mountain, and on the other by the River rhone, Whose source she had often traced on the map. The sun shine, the music, and the gay crowds made it seem to Lloyd as if the whole world were out for a holiday, and she ate her melon and listened to the plans for the day with the sensation that something very delightful was about to happen. We'll go shopping this morning, said Mrs. Sherman. I want Lloyd to see some of those wonderful music boxes they make here; the dancing bears, and the musical hand-mirrors; the chairs that play when you sit down in them, and the beer-mugs that begin a tune when you lift them up.

Excerpt from The Colonel and the Quaker Memory quickly accused me, in the presence of this 11beloved lady, of not having paid closer attention when she related many pleasing anecdotes and reminiscences; a longing came upon me that in some way these old stories and gossips might be vouchsafed me. As if in answer to this wish, the tall, old eight-day clock appeared to tick louder, and to be imbued with life. The Revolutionary sword hanging above the commission of a soldier ancestor, seemed to be stirred upon its hang ings, although no breeze played about the room. While watching this strange phenomenon the severely straight lines of the old family timepiece gave place to curved ones; the rigid plumes upon its top assumed the shape of a broad-brimmed beaver hat, with the brim turned up; while beneath, the gold face of the clock with its silver figures faded away. As it grew dimmer, a round, ruddy human face took its place, while the silver rim became snow white hair surrounding the head. Having been so absorbed in watching the metamorphosis of the face of the old heirloom I had not noticed that its case had changed into the very well-rounded figure of a Quaker gentleman in the dress worn by Friends (quakers) about the year 1750.
