Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Girl in Old Quebec On the Space between the cliffs and the water a few wooden buildings, rough hewn, marked the Site of the lower town. A wall had been erected, finished with a gallery, loopholed for musketry, and within this were the beginnings of a town that was to be famous for heroic deeds, for men of high courage, for quaintness that perpetuates old stories which are perfect romances yet to-day after the lapse of three centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Girl in Old San Francisco It was a long journey for a little girl, so long indeed that the old life had almost faded from her mind, and seemed like something done in another existence. When she was younger still she had once surprised her mother by saying, "Mother, where did I live before I came here?" The pale, care-worn woman had glanced at her in vague surprise and answered rather fretfully, "Why, nowhere, child." "Oh, but I remember things," said the little girl with a confident air, looking out of eyes that seemed to take an added shade from her present emotions. "Nonsense! You can't remember things that never happened. That's imagining them, and it isn't true. If you told them they would be falsehoods. There, go out and get me a basket of chips." She was afraid of telling falsehoods, most of those rigid people called them by their plain name, "lies," and whipped their children. So the little girl kept them to herself; she was a very good and upright child as a general thing and knew very little about her tricky father. But she went on imagining. Especially when she studied geography, which she was extravagantly fond of, yet she could never quite decide which country she had lived in.

Douglas began by submitting short stories and poems to local publications. In time her stories appeared in editions of The New York Ledger, Saturday Evening Post and the Lady's Friend Magazine. Her first novel, In Trust, was published in 1866 and sold some 20,000 copies. Learning from this first experience, Douglas made sure to retain the copyrights on all of her future works. She would go on to publish at least a novel a year until her retirement in 1913.

The little girl looked up into her father's face to see if he was making fun. He did some times. He was beginning to go down the hill of middle life, a rather stout personage with a fair, florid complexion, brown hair, rough and curly, and a border of beard shaved well away from his mouth. Both beard and hair were getting threads of white in them. His jolly blue eyes were mostly in a twinkle, and his good-natured mouth looked as if he might be laughing at you.

Yet its wildness had an impressive grandeur. Above the island of Orleans the channel narrowed, and there were the lovely green heights of what was to be Point Levis, more attractive, he thought, than these frowning cliffs. The angle between the St. Charles and St. Lawrence gave an impregnable site for a fortress, and Champlain was a born soldier with a quick eye to seize on the possibility of defence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Janet: Her Winter in Quebec "After all, you know," Ronald Leslie observed thoughtfully; "it's the very same lesson I was trying to beat into another chap, all last summer." Day unclasped her hands and, resting her elbow on her knees, buried her chin in her cupped palms. "Sauce for the goose, I suppose," she said trenchantly; "and sauce for the gander." But there was no levity in her tone. Unthinkingly, Ronald copied her pose. He was an abnormally tall young Canadian. She was a thin slip of an American girl, just fifteen years old and devoid of much beauty, save for a pair of brown eyes that danced and dreamed by turns. "It's not just the same thing, though," Ronald pursued, as he sat with his eyes fixed on the bit of blue river which rested against the background of bluer hills. "That fellow - he was an American, too - was knocked out by his health. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There were some houses on the outside; there was not so much fear of the Indians here, for the French had the art of winning them into friendship. Farms were cultivated, and the rich bottom lands produced fine crops. Small as the town was twenty years before the eighteenth century ended, it was the headquarters of a flourishing trade. The wisdom of Pierre Laclede had laid the foundation of a grand city. The lead mines even then were profitably worked, and supplied a large tract of the Mississippi River east and west. Antoine Freneau stood a few moments in the door of his log hut, down by the old Mill Creek, listening with his hand to one ear. There were sounds of spring all about, but he was not heeding them. Then he turned, closed the door, which was braced on the inner side with some rough iron bands; fastened it with the hook, and let down a chain. He was seldom troubled with unexpected evening visitors. The log hut was hidden at the back with trees enough to form a sort of grove. It had two rooms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Stories of Quebec Madame lepine sat alone at the window of no. 62 Rue du Bon Secours in the suburb Of St. Sauveur de Quebec, knitting industriously, but 'at the same time gazing intently down the street. It was near the hour Of eight in the evening, but the long northern twilight had not yet begun to darken the little room. At eight o'clock precisely Philippe would come. For had they not been married the week before, and was not Philippe since three days foreman in the great shipyard of Thibeaudeau Freres, and was it not his privilege to leave the yard at half past seven every evening during this whole month of June? It was two miles, the distance, but he would be with his dear Belvine at eight o'clock without fail. She would have dinner ready for him. It was ready now. After that they would go to walk on the Esplanade. Her fair face lighted up as his step sounded in the distance. Her dark eyes brightened, they even glis tened as she saw him com ing round the corner. She met him at the door. They greeted one another with a kiss. Together they sat down to their frugal meal. There was only soupe aux pois and bread for thefirst course, and wild strawberries and bread for the second, but it was enough. They were not rich. They had nothing but Philippe's daily wage. They had no relations living. They were alone, they two, in the world. But that was no trouble. It was enough that they were together. SO Belvine said and so said also Father Grandmaison, the little cur Of St. Sauveur. St. Sauveur was not a rich par ish as it is now, and Father Grandmaison lived in a very little house. He, too, was poor, but he was their friend. He had gotten Philippe his place at the shipyard. He would also find sale for all the stockings and sashes and tuques that Belvine might knit. For each piece she would get two sous more than any other woman in Quebec, she could knit so well. All was prosperous. There was no trouble; that is, there was only one. There is always one little trouble to keep us from being too happy. It was a debt. It was not a large debt; only three pounds and five shillings. It had been more than that, but Belvine hadpaid already two pounds and ten shillings, her savings for three years, While she had been domestic at the house of one of the rich men of St. Sauveur. It was for her trousseau, of course. That was necessary. Also Philippe had bought a new coat for the ceremony. It was the debt of both and both would pay it. The great house of Laviolette et F ils would wait. M. Laviolette himself had said so. I trust you, mademoiselle, he hadsaid. I knew your father. He was a good man. And Phil ippe, too, he has the heart of gold. Ah, those words How they did cheer the soul Yes, they would pay very soon, perhaps in two months.
