 Title:  Amoy, A Chinese Girl  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Only a short time ago she had been the very light of the tea-garden. No one could dance with the wild extravagance, yet graceful delicacy, of Amoy, and no voice was sweeter than hers; furthermore, she was wonderfully pretty, with her little pursed mouth, bright eyes and rich abundance of shiny hair; and besides being pretty and clever, Amoy was gentle, modest and good, so you will see it was no wonder that she was the favorite of all the patrons of the house. Even the girls, who were usually so jealous when one was more popular than another, could not help liking Amoy.

 Title:  The Betrothal of Otoyo  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Otoyo-san's eyes shone brightly, and in each round cheek was a bright red spot. The small pink hands were clasped one in the other, and she sat very quietly as her maid dressed her hair. She would not for worlds have betrayed before even the maid the intense excitement under which she was laboring. But her affected air of repose and indifference did not deceive the astute attendant, who brushed the long black locks viciously and as if in protest that she was not taken fully into her mistress's confidence.

 Title:  Count Oguri`s Quest  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Despite his course at an American college, Count Oguri was a temperamental pariah. While he desired keenly to live upon terms of social intimacy with many persons, and while, not infrequently, he himself had made advances, there was that in his manner tending to the ultimate overthrow of all such ambitions. There was a diffidence in his mental attitude that led, not only to an embarrassed manner, but gave, as well, the appearance and qualities of a marplot. Oguri had lain awake long to plan, in detail, some interview or meeting that was to bring him the friendship of Cullen, the full-back, or Wright, “the star debater,” and, having settled the minutiae of proper familiarity with his associates, had gone down to breakfast, only to ask for the salt in a tone of voice that instantly attracted to himself the full gaze of the tableful.

 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: “On the day of my betrothal, I shall begin a little journal of my insignificant life.”This, I many a time told myself. “By that time,” I thought, “I shall have ceased to be a child, and must exchange the laugh of girlhood for the serious problems of the woman.”

 Title:  His Interpreter  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: The American sat at his desk, intently studying some plans and sketches that were spread before him. His fine, fair face was drawn with his intense absorption in his task, and the heavy lines on his forehead showed he was puzzled over something regarding it. Often he would turn from his plans to a large book, and run his hand down a list of figures, frowning heavily as if[2] their volume annoyed him. After a time, he pushed the book and maps from him, and running his hand wearily through his hair, leaned back in his chair, with half-closed eyes and irresolute mouth and chin.

 Title:  The Old Jinrikisha  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Now, before I begin to tell you about the people who have ridden in me, I would like to say a few little things about myself. Of course, I understand that you would far rather hear about people than me, for that is natural, to wish first of all, to hear of your kind, but please remember that I have that same feeling. I am far more interested in jinrikishas[1] than I am in people, so you can understand somewhat of my unselfishness, when I propose, after only a few words about myself, to confine myself almost entirely to telling you about those happy or hapless mortals in whose lives I have played my part.

 Title:  The Marriage of Jinyo  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Ishida Jinyo returned to Japan at the command of his father and the solicitation of his mother. Six years' residence in the most modern city in the world had convinced the young man that it would be fatal and impossible for him to submit to rules and duties which, to his now enlightened mind, appeared medieval.

 Title:  The Life of a Japanese Girl  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: The first lesson instilled into the mind of a Japanese girl is to be modest and gentle, and she is reared along lines which tend to make her respect her elders.[1] From the days when she is wrapped in long clothes to the time when she is given to her bridegroom she is under the strict though gentle care of her parents. Though constantly disciplined, it is in so mild and gentle and unseen yet firm a way that maidenhood becomes a pleasure and wifehood a joy. Out of all this there grows the love of and devotion to her parents that is beautiful.

 Title:  Japanese War News by Word o`Mouth  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: In Japan, story-telling is an old and popular calling. The professional story-tellers have their particular halls where at the present moment hundreds congregate to listen to war news. True, the Japanese story-teller does not attract the more refined or highly educated people, but so popular is he with the masses (who can seldom afford to attend the theatre), that he may be classed among the most interesting of those who live to please and instruct.
