Excerpt from Tattle-Tales of Cupid My dear Dona: Once upon a time two children read aloud together more or less of Darwin, Spencer, Lyell, Goethe, Carlyle, Taine, and other writers of equal note. Though the books were somewhat above their comprehension, and certainly not so well suited to their years as fairy-tales and romances, both the choice and the rejection were deliberately made and consistently maintained. The discrimination originated neither in excessive fondness of fact, nor in the slightest dislike of fiction; being solely due to a greater preference for the stories they themselves created than for those they found in books. Presently, one of these two, having found a new playfellow, stopped inventing and acting and living their joint imaginings, and the other one had to go on playing by himself.

Excerpt from Martha and Cupid And yet there was nothing baleful in the appear ance of the man on whom Sam's eyes were fixed. On the contrary, his erect figure was particularly well set-up, trigly dressed. His gait had a stylish swing, his hat a knowing tilt. Every line of him indicated positive characteristics - determination, direction, alertness - attributes all, that supposedly make for success. Sam Slawson, physically a young giant, vaguely realized he stood dwarfed in effect beside Peter Gilroy when they were together, for though Peter actually measured less than Sam by several inches, his head was held higher, his shoulders squarer.
