The Daughter of Erlik Khan

Robert E. Howard

The tall Englishman, Pembroke, was scratching lines on the earth with his hunting knife, talking in a jerky tone that indicated suppressed excitement: I tell you, Ormond, that peak to the west is the one we were to look for. Here, Ive marked a map in the dirt. This mark here represents our camp, and this one is the peak. Weve marched north far enough.

Mansfield Park

Jane Austen

A young girl named Fanny Price comes to live with her wealthy uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram. Fannys family is quite poor; her mother, unlike her sister Lady Bertram, married beneath her, and Fannys father, a sailor, is disabled and drinks heavily. Fanny is abused by her other aunt, Mrs. Norris, a busybody who runs things at Mansfield Park, the Bertrams estate. The Bertram daughters, Maria and Julia, are shallow, rather cruel girls, intent on marrying well and being fashionable. The elder son, Tom, is a roustabout and a drunk. Fanny finds solace only in the friendship of the younger son, Edmund, who is planning to be a clergyman. Fanny grows up shy and deferential, caught as she typically is between members of the Bertram family.

The Keeper of the Door

Ethel M. Dell

Sequel to The Way of an Eagle. Max Wyndham is a successful doctor who comes to practice at the English Country. Olga Ratcliffe is Dr. Ratcliffes daughter and Maxs employer.

The Keeper of the Door is the compelling tale of womans struggles with social dictates and the ever-confusing demands of the heart by the author of The Obstacle Race and The Bars of Iron.

A Sleeping Memory

E. Phillips Oppenheim

Why not destroy someones memory in the hope that they will remember past lives. It turned out that this is a reverse scenario of Pygmalion. He fell in love with the girl and then destroyed her. I like the idea that a person is a common set of his experiences and experiences, but if they are erased, the person who is left will be completely different. Probably one of the best opengame stories.
