Norines Revenge, and Sir Noels Heir

May Agnes Fleming

Mr. Richard Gilbert, a New York lawyer, entering five minutes before the start, found only one place unoccupied near the door. The old hard farmer held the upper half and moved grumpily to the window when Mr. Gilbert took his seat. The month was March, the morning was snowy and blowing, slushy and slushy, as usual in the Canadian March morning. Mr. Gilbert, inwardly congratulating himself on having gotten a seat by the stove, opened the damp Montreal True Witness and settled down comfortably to read.

Muszę wypocząć. Obrazek sceniczny

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Henryk Sienkiewicz to nie tylko autor niezapomnianych powieści i nowel, lecz także twórca sztuk scenicznych. Laureat literackiej Nagrody Nobla był także świetnym dramaturgiem. Sztuka Muszę wypocząć ukazała się w noworocznym numerze Kuriera Codziennego w 1897 r. Zadedykowana została Bolesławowi Prusowi. Autor przedstawia w niej w zwartej i dowcipnej formie dzień sławnego literata, który postanowił w końcu się zrelaksować. Wiąże się to z tym, że przestał na kilka dni pisać, przygotowywać się do odczytów i nie dosypiać po nocach, by wywiązać się z rozmaitych zobowiązań wobec redakcji. Przestał również czytać listy od swych wielbicieli, którzy zwracają się doń z najdziwniejszymi sprawami: Czy pan łatwiej pracujesz po wołowinie, czy po baraninie lub po kotletach wieprzowych? Po jakim mięsie tworzysz pan łatwiej charaktery, a po jakim krajobrazy? .

Tales of Lonely Trails

Zane Grey

The next day, having restored our journey, it was a pleasure for me to try to find the track to Betatakin, the most famous and, most certainly, the most beautiful and beautiful destroyed place in the whole of the West. In many places, there was no trace at all, and I was faced with difficulties, but in the end, without much loss of time, I entered a narrow, heavy entrance to the canyon, which I described as a surprise valley. Amazement in the big dark cave worried me. My dreams of romance really lived there once. I climbed to a height above the huge stones, and along the smooth red walls, where I once swam Larkin, quickly moving, I entered the shaded rock, and wandered through thickets that were never free from the history that I conceived nature itself...
