Chapter 1 ^ A Curse

She was looking for a man named Arch Wilson and she was walking south-westward, alone, towards the middle of the country, with another fifty or sixty miles to go.

Tou must be a whore. You live in a brothel!'
Fifteen-year-old Belle took a step back from the red-haired, freckled-faced boy and looked at him in consternation. He'd run after her down the street to return her hair ribbon which had fallen off. That in itself was unusual...

Maigret struggled to open his eyes, frowning, as if distrustful of the voice that had just shouted at him, dragging him out of a deep sleep:

His eyes still closed, he sighed, groped at the sheet and realized that this was no dream, that something was the matter, because his hand...

PUBLISHER'S NOTE
The text of this edition of Alice in Wonderland is that of the first edition. A few verbal changes were made in later editions, but these were of minor importance, with one exception. The verses on pages 136-7 were later expanded, and the full version known to all Alice-lovers...
David Case's baby brotlier liad recendy learned to walk but he wasn't what you'd call an expert. He toddled past his brother to the large open window of the older boy's room. There, with a great deal of effort, he pulled himself on to the window sill, scrunched up like a caterpillar, pushed into...

THE SETTING
The setting is the week-end cottage of the Harrington family in Suffolk. A multiple set enables us to see a fair amount of this house: the living-room, the hall, the landing, and the schoolroom where Pamela has her lessons.
The living-room occupies all of the stage on the ground...

Deep in an ocean. I am suspended motionless. The water is gray. That's all there is, and before that? My arms are held out straight, cruciate, my head and legs hang limp. Nothing moves. Brown kelp lies flat in mud and fish are buried in liquid clouds of dust. There are no shadows or...

He never should have ordered them to leave the guns behind. The decision would cost them all their lives. But had there really been a choice? When the last remaining packhorse went lame they'd had to redistribute its load, and that meant leaving equipment behind. There was...
The Landlady
Billy Weaver had travelled down from London on the slow afternoon train, with a change at Swindon on the way, and by the time he got to Bath it was about nine o'clock in the evening and the moon was coming up out of a clear starry sky over the houses opposite the station entrance....
PART ONE
I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up. I had just gotten over a serious illness that I won't bother to talk about, except that it had something to do with the miserably weary split-up and my feeling that everything was dead. With the coming of Dean Moriarty began the...

Then to the well-trod stage anon. If Jonson's leamed sock be on. Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child. Warble his native wood-notes wild.

THE LOST CHILDHOOD
Perhaps it is only in childhood that books have any deep influence on our lives. In later life we admire, we are entertained, we may modify some views we already hold, but we are more likely to find in books merely a confirmation of what is in our minds already: as in a love...
author's note
The tales collected in this book have elicited on their appearance two utterances in the shape of comment and one distinctly critical charge. A reviewer observed that I liked to write of men who go to sea or live on lonely islands untrammelled by the pressure of worldly...

PREFACE
An eminent American sociologist, Professor Milton Yinger, has written the following, which might be taken as a verdict of lunacy on a writer who, having read his words, then ventures on a book with a title such as this one bears:

He came over the top of the down as the last light failed and could almost have cried with relief at sight of the wood below. He longed to fling himself down on the short stubbly grass and stare at it, the dark comforting shadow which he had hardly hoped to see. Thus only could he cure the stitch...

The men of the Restoration have stood up to the moralists much more resolutely than they ever did to the Dutch. Two and a half centuries of tinceasing reminders that their political behaviour was brutal and corrupt, their distrust of idealism shallow, their sexual mores gross, and...
