The-Lucky-Little-Cat-Chapter-3

by webnovelverse — After that night, the woman leaves her bedroom door open so I can sleep with her. She even makes me a little blanket with pink cat faces and bows—not exactly my style, but I’ll accept it for her sake. Life at home is happy. The woman plays with me, holds me, and watches the sunset and moonrise with me. The only downside is that I’m not allowed outside. I used to rule the whole park, but now I’m stuck in this house. Watching the birds outside, I feel a little jealous. So one day,…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-06

by webnovelverse — It was with no small satisfaction that Talbot found himself one day established in one of Budapest's best hotels. He had gone first to Vienna, where he had used his credentials to such good purpose that he had been furnished with other letters to the proper persons in Budapest. He felt that his search for Donald was nearing an end, and, he hoped, a successful one. He had told the people at the American legation of his experience with the Hungarian revolutionists in Paris, and they had not only taken…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-07

by webnovelverse — When morning came he saw his way no clearer than before, but at least it was so far simplified that for the moment there was nothing else for him to do but go to the prisoners' camp. He had tried the night before to obtain a horse so that he might ride over, but all the good horses had been requisitioned for the army, and all the others were in constant use on the farms. However, three miles made but a short walk, and he set out as soon as it was advisable. His thoughts were now. as they had been…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-08

by webnovelverse — The Princess Sonia tottered for her first steps away from Talbot, casting a piteous, despairing glance back at him. Then, as if summoning the courage she had promised to display, she walked more steadily into the open and waited for the approaching men. The squad of soldiers remained at the side of the garden, leaving the colonel and the other man to approach the princess. And then Talbot thanked Heaven for the inspiration not to risk a struggle—for, with the men remaining at a distance, he would have…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — THE summer passed uneventfully, with no word from our tenants, ex- cept for the monthly remittance. And then, one morning late in October, as Jim and I were preparing to make a visit of inspection to several properties, I was called to the telephone, and in answer to my response a voice, which, in spite of its tremor and excitement, I recognized as Avery's, asked me to come immedi- ately to Hedgewood. It was not until we were in the car that I told Jim, who was driving, to head for Ormond's place, and…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — One day not long before they expected to reach Havre, Talbot was taking his customary look at the horses when Harry Furness came to him and said: "May I speak with you, Mr. Talbot?" "Certainly." "I want to explain why I went out in the boat with you." "The truth, Harry ?" Harry flushed. "Yes, sir. The fact that I didn't try to deceive you when you asked me ought to show that I'm not a liar." "I don't think you're a liar; but on the other hand it would have been hard, on the spur of the…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-05

by webnovelverse — Talbot walked slowly away from the house. He didn't doubt that he had been wise to refuse to be drawn into the scheme, whatever it was. It might be that the plotters would have been able to help him; they certainly had hindered him, but his judgment told him that he had acted wisely. The question now was, whether to go on without further thought of them, or to try to figure out first what the extent of their power was, and so be in a position to elude it. There was young Hopkins at the embassy ;…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-03

by webnovelverse — JIM sprang to his feet, and with a cry of rage threw the whole weight of his body against the heavy door. He was frantic with fury. I leaped upon him and by sheer strength carried him, kicking and cursing, the length of the hall where I threw him into a settee. "There, you confounded chump!" I shouted. "For two cents I'd punch your face in. What do you mean by disobey- ing orders?" We glared at each other for a moment, and then a sheepish look crept into his face. "I'm sorry, old man," he…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-02

by webnovelverse — THE exhilarating rush through the clean, sparkling air soon banished the senseless feeling of uneasiness I had been harboring, and I gave myself up to the enjoyment of the ride. Life may hold better things than a perfect going automobile, a good country road and a bright June day, but I don't know where they are or what. Hedgewood was situated about ten miles from town, but we reached our destination all too soon. As we approached the property we slowed down in order to get a better view. The land had a…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-01

by webnovelverse — THE JUNE breeze blowing softly through the open window dis- turbed the papers on my desk, and also my peace of mind. My office was hot and stuffy, and the cooling zephyr whispered of better things out of doors. With a sigh, I pushed back my chair and ruefully contemplated the un- answered correspondence on my desk. Across the way my gaze encountered the terra cotta facade and glaring plate glass of a hideous office building. Be- yond it, although invisible to the physical eye, were lush meadows and…
