Excerpt from My Friend Prospero: A Novel The coachman' drew up his horses before the castle gateway, where their hoofs beat a sort of fan fare on the stone pavement; and the footman, letting himself smartly down, pulled, with a per emptory gesture that was just not quite a swagger, the bronze hand at the end of the dangling bell cord.

Excerpt from Two Women or One?: From the Mss, of Dr. Leonard Benary This action at once struck me as odd, and put an end to my pre-occupation. What could a solitary woman want at the brink of the Yellow Snake River at twelve o'clock midnight? Her errand could scarcely be a benign one and the conjecture that suicide might possibly be its object, instantly, of course, arose in my mind. My duty under the circumstances, anyhow, seemed plain - to keep an eye upon her, and hold myself in readiness to interfere, if needful.

Novelist, short story writer, and literary editor of the Yellow Book, Harland�������s literary career falls into two distinct periods. During the first of these, using the pseudonym of Sidney Luska, he wrote a series of highly sensational novels, thrown off with little regard to literary quality. In the second he went through a metamorphosis and became an enthusiast in regard to style and the mot propre. The first novels of this new era, Mademoiselle Miss, Grey Roses, and Comedies and Errors, though obtaining the approval of the literary elect, had little general popularity. The tide turned with the appearance of The Cardinal�������s Snuff-box, which was widely admired. This was followed by this volume, The Lady Paramount, and My Friend Prospero.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Oh, it would be too long and too sad a story. Should I anatomise him to you as he is, I must blush and weep, and you must look pale and wonder. He has pretty nearly every weakness, not to mention vices, that flesh is heir to. But as for conceit . . . let me see. He concurs in my own high opinion of his work, I believe; but I don't know whether, as literary men go, it would be fair to call him conceited. He belongs, at any rate, to the comparatively modest minority who do not secretly fancy that Shakespeare has come back to life.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
