The House of the White Shadows

In the hope of her husband's return, and looking forward with sweet mysterious delight to the moment when she would hold her baby to her breast, Mrs. Holdfast was a perfectly happy woman-a being to be envied. She had some cause for anxiety in the circumstance that she did not hear from her husband, but she consoled herself with the reflection that his last letter to her afforded a sufficient explanation of his silence. She mentally followed his movements as the days passed by. Some little time would be occupied in settling his son's affairs; the young man most likely died in debt. Mr. Holdfast would not rest satisfied until he had ascertained the exact extent of his unhappy son's liabilities, and had discharged them. With Frederick's death must be cleared away the dishonour of his life.

Great Porter Square

The Last Tenant is a mystery story by B. L. Farjeon. A young couple moves into a new house that slowly shows itself to be haunted. Excerpt: "The possibilities of the peril in which we had placed ourselves presented themselves vividly to my agitated mind. The house, having been for so many years deserted by its proper tenant, might have become the haunt of desperate characters who would shrink from no deed, however ruthless, to secure their safety; who might even hail with satisfaction the intrusion of respectable persons who had unconsciously put themselves in their power. Supposing that these evil-doers were concealed in the lower rooms when we entered, they could rob and murder us with little fear of discovery."

London's Heart

The Shield of Love is a modern Cinderella story of a beautiful girl named Charlotte Fox-Cordery. It tells how an English gentleman named John Dixon was first drawn to her because of pity. This pity became enhanced by affection and later grew into love. It's an incredible tale with characters that complement each other and delight the readers throughout the novel. English novelist B. L. Farjeon's lucid and straightforward writing style adds to the story's charms. Excerpt from The Shield of Love "Had it occurred to a stranger who gazed for the first time upon Mr. and Miss Fox-Cordery, as they sat in the living-room of the Fox-Cordery establishment, that for some private reason the brother and sister had dressed in each other's clothes, he might well have been excused the fancy. It was not that the lady was so much like a gentleman, but that the gentleman was so much like a lady; and a closer inspection would certainly have caused the stranger to do justice at least to Miss Fox-Cordery."

Jessie Trim is a 19th-century English fiction by novelist, playwright, printer, and journalist B. L. Farjeon. In 35 years of his career, Farjeon produced nearly 60 novels. Many of his works were famous worldwide. Excerpt from Jessie Trim "As my earliest remembrances are associated with my grandmother's wedding, it takes natural precedence here of all other matter. I was not there, of course, but I seem to see it through a mist, and I have a distinct impression of certain actors in the scene. These are: a smoke-dried monkey of a man in stone, my grandmother, my grandfather (whom I never saw in the flesh), and a man with a knob on the top of his head, making a meal off his finger-nails."

Blade-O'-Grass. Golden Grain. and Bread and Cheese and Kisses is a collection of Christmas stories written by B. L. Farjeon. Farjeon was an English novelist, playwright, printer and journalist. Excerpt: "Delicate feather-flakes of snow were floating gently down over all the City. In some parts the snow fell white and pure, and so remained for many hours. In other parts, no sooner did it reach the ground than it was converted into slush--losing its purity, and becoming instantly defiled. This was its fate in Stoney-alley; yet even there, as it rested upon the roofs and eaves, it was fresh and beautiful for a time."

"Help!"
