#eBook Burning in the rain by Abigail George

“So she would continue to feel like a foreigner in their home, it was her home too, after all she was the one who kept the home fires burning.”

This morning the kitchen cupboard smelled like spices. She was scratching for something. She had to have it. Otherwise the meal would not be perfect. It would be less-than-perfect and she would prefer to have it otherwise. What made him happy would make her happy but today of all days she could not find it. The perfect ‘it’ that would complement the dish.

#eBook The Master of the Inn by Robert Herrick

The Master looked at the man beside him and said calmly: “It is well as it is—all well!” It was a plain brick house, three full stories, with four broad chimneys, and overhanging eaves. The tradition was that it had been a colonial tavern—a dot among the fir-covered northern hills on the climbing post-road into Canada.

Suddenly there was a scream from the Sunda.

Frank Richard Stockton (April 5, 1834 – April 20, 1902) was an American writer and humorist, best known today for a series of innovative children’s fairy tales that were widely popular during the last decades of the 19th century.
