early in the morning; now it was late afternoon, but at last he
thought he was on his track. He went like a wind, his ears pointed
ahead, his slender legs seemingly flat against his body; he was
eagerness expressed by a straight line of impetuous motion. He had
had nothing to eat all day; he was spent with anxiety and fatigue
and hunger; but now, now, he believed he was on his master's track,
and all that was forgotten. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

studio. There were nine of them present, besides Brewster. They were all
young, more or less enterprising, hopeful, and reasonably sure of better
things to come. Most of them bore names that meant something in the story
of New York. Indeed, one of them had remarked, "A man is known by the street
that's named after him," and as he was a new member, they called him "Subway." | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 296 | Author: | McAfee, Cleland Boyd | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Greatest English Classic | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THERE are three great Book-religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism.
Other religions have their sacred writings,
but they do not hold them in the same regard as
do these three. Buddhism and Confucianism
count their books rather records of their faith
than rules for it, history rather than authoritative
sources of belief. The three great Book-religions yield a measure of authority to their
sacred books which would be utterly foreign to
the thought of other faiths. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

[pseud.] | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | A Sweet Girl Graduate | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | PRISCILLA'S trunk was neatly packed. It was a new trunk and had a nice canvas
covering over it. The canvas was bound with red braid, and Priscilla's initials
were worked on the top in large plain letters. Her initials were P. P. P.,
and they stood for Priscilla Penywern Peel. The trunk was corded and strapped
and put away, and Priscilla stood by her aunt's side in the little parlor
of Penywern Cottage. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
