Book excerpt: "I, Bertram, take thee, Billy," chanted the white-robed clergyman."'I, Bertram, take thee, Billy, '" echoed the tall young bridegroom, his eyes gravely tender."To my wedded wife.""'To my wedded wife.'" The bridegroom's voice shook a little."To have and to hold from this day forward.""'To have and to hold from this day forward.'" Now the young voice rang with triumph. Ithad grown strong and steady."For better for worse.""'For better for worse.'""For richer for poorer," droned the clergyman, with the weariness of uncountedrepetitions."'For richer for poorer, '" avowed the bridegroom, with the decisive emphasis of one towhom the words are new and significant."In sickness and in health.""'In sickness and in health.'""To love and to cherish.""'To love and to cherish.'" The younger voice carried infinite tenderness now."Till death us do part.""'Till death us do part, '" repeated the bridegroom's lips; but everybody knew that whathis heart said was: "Now, and through all eternity.""According to God's holy ordinance.""'According to God's holy ordinance.'""And thereto I plight thee my troth.""'And thereto I plight thee my troth.'"There was a faint stir in the room. In one corner a white-haired woman blinked tear-weteyes and pulled a fleecy white shawl more closely about her shoulders. Then the minister'svoice sounded again."I, Billy, take thee, Bertram.""'I, Billy, take thee, Bertram.'"This time the echoing voice was a feminine one, low and sweet, but clearly distinct, andvibrant with joyous confidence, on through one after another of the ever familiar, but everimpressive phrases of the service that gives into the hands of one man and of one womanthe future happiness, each of the other.The wedding was at noon. That evening Mrs. Kate Hartwell, sister of the bridegroom, wrote the following letter:4BOSTON, July 15th."MY DEAR HUSBAND: -Well, it's all over with, and they're married. I couldn't do onething to prevent it. Much as ever as they would even listen to what I had to say-and whenthey knew how I had hurried East to say it, too, with only two hours' notice!"But then, what can you expect? From time immemorial lovers never did have any sense;and when those lovers are such irresponsible flutterbudgets as Billy and Bertram-!"And such a wedding! I couldn't do anything with that, either, though I tried hard. Theyhad it in Billy's living-room at noon, with nothing but the sun for light. There was no maidof honor, no bridesmaids, no wedding cake, no wedding veil, no presents (except from thefamily, and from that ridiculous Chinese cook of brother William's, Ding Dong, or whateverhis name is. He tore in just before the wedding ceremony, and insisted upon seeing Billy togive her a wretched little green stone idol, which he declared would bring her 'heap plentyvelly good luckee' if she received it before she 'got married.' I wouldn't have the hideous, grinning thing around, but William says it's real jade, and very valuable, and of course Billywas crazy over it-or pretended to be). There was no trousseau, either, and no reception.There was no anything but the bridegroom; and when I tell you that Billy actually declaredthat was all she wanted, you will understand how absurdly in love she is-in spite of allthose weeks and weeks of broken engagement when I, at least, supposed she had come toher senses, until I got that crazy note from Bertram a week ago saying they were to bemarried
Download or read book Unprotected written by Billy Porter and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the incomparable Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner, a powerful and revealing autobiography about race, sexuality, art, and healing—now in paperback It’s easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic Emmy-winning performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the groundbreaking Tony and Grammy Award–winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, director, and all-around legend, Porter was a young boy in Pittsburgh who was seen as different, who didn’t fit in. At five years old, Porter was sent to therapy to “fix” his effeminacy. He was endlessly bullied at school, sexually abused by his stepfather, and criticized at his church. Porter came of age in a world where simply being himself was a constant struggle. Billy Porter’s Unprotected is the life story of a singular artist and survivor in his own words. It is the story of a boy whose talent and courage opened doors for him, but only a crack. It is the story of a teenager discovering himself, learning his voice and his craft amid deep trauma. And it is the story of a young man whose unbreakable determination led him through countless hard times to where he is now; a proud icon who refuses to back down or hide. Porter is a multitalented, multifaceted treasure at the top of his game, and Unprotected is a resonant, inspirational story of trauma and healing, shot through with his singular voice.

Book excerpt: MISS BILLY BY ELEANOR H. PORTER Meet Billy, 18, now an orphan after her aunt who raised her has just passed away. There is no one to look after her except maybe an old friend of her father's and the person she was named after, William Henshaw. William, now widowed, is the eldest of three brothers who all live together. Each brother lives on a separate floor and each has his individual idiosyncrasies. The three men get quite a shock when the letter from Billy arrives begging William to let her come live with him. One problem! Billy doesn't mention her age or the fact that she's a girl. Billy is effervescent and has a good heart, and I liked the positive impact that she had on the other characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MISS BILLY'S DECISION BY ELEANOR H. PORTER This book focuses primarily on Miss Billy and Bertram during their engagement, and them growing.

Download or read book Lucky Billy written by John Vernon and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2008 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A myth-busting novel about America’s most infamous and beloved outlaw, Billy the Kid, from a critically acclaimed historical novelist According to legend, Billy the Kid killed twenty-one men, one for every year of his short life; stole from wealthy cattle barons to give to the po∨ and wooed just about every senorita in the American Southwest. In Lucky Billy, John Vernon digs deeply into the historical record to find a truth more remarkable than the legend, and draws a fresh, nuanced portrait of this outlaw’s dramatic and violent life. Billy the Kid met his celebrated end at the hands of Pat Garrett, his one-time carousing partner turned sheriff, who tracked Billy down after the jail break that made him famous. In Vernon’s telling, the crucial event of Billy’s life was the Lincoln County War, a conflict between a ring of Irishmen in control of Lincoln, New Mexico, and a newcomer from England, John Tunstall, who wanted to break their grip on the town. Billy signed on with Tunstall. The conflict spun out of control with Tunstall’s murder, and in a series of revenge killings, an obscure hired gunman called Kid Antrim became Billy the Kid. Besides a full complement of gunfights, jail breaks, and bawdy behavior, Lucky Billy is a provocative picture of the West at a critical juncture between old and new. It is also a portrait of an American icon made human, caught in the middle, more lost than brave, more nadve than principled, more of an accidental survivor than simply the cold-blooded killer of American myth.
