Example in this ebook CHAPTER ONE THE CHOSEN LAND |Ooo-ooh! Oo-ooh! Nita!| called Suzanne Baker, as she skipped across the small square of green grass that individualised the brownstone house where Anita Brampton lived. No answer came, so Zan—as she was always called for short—impatiently repeated the call, adding after a moment's pause, |Where are you—come on out!| Still no reply, but the pretty face of Mrs. Brampton appeared at the glass door inside the vestibule. She smiled as she recognised the caller and nodded for her to come in. Zan ran up the steps and said, |How'd do, Mrs. Brampton—where's Nita?| |Looking for you, most likely,| laughed the lady of the house. Then, as her smile changed to a petulant look with the changing of her thought, she added, |Dear me! Nita is a sore trial. Did you ever know her to accomplish anything without confusion to others?| Zan knew from experience that that aggrieved tone meant a long harangue on Nita's shortcomings, so she hurriedly changed the subject. |Well, as long as Nita isn't here I guess I'll run along to Miss Miller's. They'll all be there waiting, I s'pose.| |All right, dearie; I have a little bridge party in the library, or I would give more time to you,| replied Mrs. Brampton, daintily patting down a few stray wisps of blonde hair that fluttered in the breeze from the open door. |Oh, I'm in a great hurry, anyway,| returned Zan, starting out of the doorway. At that moment, a maid summoned Mrs. Brampton to the telephone saying that her daughter wished to speak with her. |Wait a moment, Zan—Nita's on the 'phone and you can speak to her after I see what she wants,| said Mrs. Brampton, turning back. Zan followed to the small nook where the telephone was kept and stood waiting. Laughter and the sound of coins drew her attention to the bridge players in the large library. Mrs. Brampton finished speaking with her daughter, saying, |Zan is here—wait a second and I'll put her on the wire.| Turning to hand Zan the receiver, she whispered, |When you are through here run to the dining-room and have a glass of wine and cake—it is all ready for my friends.| |Oh, no, thank you, Mrs. Brampton! You know Daddy doesn't approve of us having wine. We always drink water at home,| replied Zan, flushing uncomfortably. |Dear me, I forgot! The doctor is such a radical on these little things!| laughed the lady merrily, patting the girl consolingly on the shoulder with much-beringed hands. She hastened back to her guests while Zan called, |Hello, Nita! Where are you, anyway?| |Ha, ha ha! We're all at Miss Miller's? Why don't you hurry over, too,| came a musical voice over the wire. |Just because you didn't do as I said! I told you distinctly to wait for me at the school-gates. You knew I'd be a few minutes late on account of seeing my Latin teacher after school. I asked Bob if he had seen you—he was waiting for some boys in front of the gate—but he said you had hurried away with the girls. So I stopped in here thinking you may have gone home.| There was a moment's silence, then a petulant voice, so like Mrs. Brampton's that Zan smiled, said, |Dear me! I'm sure it isn't my fault if you didn't meet us! Why all of the girls should bother to hang around waiting for you, is more than I can tell!| |Well, seeing that the whole plan is mine, and not one of you girls would have been in on it if I hadn't asked you, it seems mighty ungrateful to act so, that's all I have to say!| and Zan jabbed up the receiver on its hook.

The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom, Complete

downloadthis Book free The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom, Complete By:T. Smollett Published on 2016-01-29 by VM eBooks INTRODUCTION The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom, Smollett's third novel, was given to the world in 1753. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, writing to her daughter, the Countess of Bute, over a year later [ January 1st, 1755], remarked that |my friend Smollett . . . has certainly a talent for invention, though I think it flags a little in his last work.| Lady Mary was both right and wrong. The inventive power which we commonly think of as Smollett's was the ability to work over his own experience into realistic fiction. Of this, Ferdinand Count Fathom shows comparatively little. It shows relatively little, too, of Smollett's vigorous personality, which in his earlier works was present to give life and interest to almost every chapter, were it to describe a street brawl, a ludicrous situation, a whimsical character, or with venomous prejudice to gibbet

In 1901 Evelyn Nesbit, a chorus girl in the musical Florodora, dined alone with the architect Stanford White in his townhouse on 24th Street in New York.

Silicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of the Valley

downloadthis Book online Silicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of the Valley By:Cary McClelland Published on 2018-10-09 by W. W. Norton & Company An intimate, eye-opening portrait of San Francisco transformed by the tech boom. San Francisco is changing at warp speed. Famously home to artists and activists, and known as the birthplace of the Beats, the Black Panthers, and the LGBTQ movement, in recent decades the Bay Area has been reshaped by Silicon Valley, the engine of the new American economy. The richer the region gets, the more unequal and less diverse it becomes, and cracks in the city’s facade—rapid gentrification, an epidemic of evictions, rising crime, atrophied public institutions—have started to show. Inspired by Studs Terkel’s classic works of oral history, writer and filmmaker Cary McClelland spent several years interviewing people at the epicenter of the recent change, from venture capitalists and coders to politicians and protesters, from native sons and dau
