Il est une vaste contrée, grasse, souriante, abondante en richesses de toute sorte, en grains comme en troupeaux, assise au bord de la Çarayoû et nommée Koçala. Là, était une ville, célèbre dans tout l'univers et fondée jadis par Manou, le chef du genre humain. Elle avait nom Ayodhyâ. Heureuse...

Probably the first criticism on this book will be that it is colloquial. The reason for this lies in the fact that though Mr. Hussey has for two generations been one of the most noted raconteurs in Ireland, he has never been addicted to writing, and for that reason has always declined to arrange his...

Il y a cinq ans, lorsque je partis à la recherche de ces ruines merveilleuses, mon intention était d'en faire une étude approfondie et de traiter le sujet moi-même. Surpris de la manière incomplète avec laquelle certains voyageurs avaient abordé ce grand sujet, il me sembla que dans une œuvre...

Three Inquisitive Men. The fifteenth of January, 1907, fell on a Tuesday. I have good cause to remember it. In this narrative of startling fact there is little that concerns myself. It is mostly of the doings of others—strange doings though they were, and stranger still, perhaps, that I should be their...

The modern improvements of Shaftesbury Avenue were as yet unmade, and the foreign district of London had still to be opened up. A cold north wind was blowing on the few pedestrians whom necessity, or...

Over a “Gasper.” “To-morrow? To-morrow, my dear Claude! Why, there may not be a to-morrow for you—or for me, when it comes to that—eh?” “Yes. You’re quite right, old son,” was my cheerful reply. “I’m quite aware that these experiments are confoundedly dangerous—and, besides, there...

The Stranger in Manchester. “Dead! And he’s carried his secret with him to his grave!” “Never!” “But he has. Look! His jaw has dropped. Can’t you see the change, man!” “Then he’s carried out his threat after all

My dear Le Queux, I have just finished reading the proofs of your book describing my life as an official at the Imperial Court at Potsdam, and the two or three small errors you made I have duly corrected. "The gross scandals and wily intrigues which I have related to you were, many of them, known to...

I do not think anyone who has studied the progress of the War with care and patience can deny that, during the past few months, a mighty change has come over the aspect of the great struggle. A year ago, when I wrote “Britain’s Deadly Peril,” the fortunes of the Allies appeared to be at the lowest...

Concerning Sheila Monkton. As the Right Honourable Reginald Monkton walked towards Charing Cross on that June morning his fifty-odd years appeared to weigh lightly upon him True, his hair was tinged with grey, yet that was but natural after over twenty years of political strife and Party bickering, of...

The Man of the Moment. “That man knows too much!” “Do you really think he overheard?” “He may not have done. But we must take no risks, my dear fellow. Remember we are at war! With people who know too much there’s but one way—dismissal,” declared Lewin Rodwell, the tall, well-groomed...
