 Description: AS Mrs. Quentin's victoria, driving homeward, turned from the Park into Fifth Avenue, she divined her son's tall figure walking ahead of her in the twilight. His long stride covered the ground more rapidly than usual, and she had a premonition that, if he were going home at that hour, it was because he wanted to see her.

 Title:  The Mountains  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: SIX trails lead to the main ridge. They are all good trails, so that even the casual tourist in the little Spanish-American town on the seacoast need have nothing to fear from the ascent. In some spots they contract to an arm's length of space, outside of which limit they drop sheer away; elsewhere they stand up on end, zigzag in lacets each more hair-raising than the last, or fill to demoralization with loose boulders and shale. A fall on the part of your horse would mean a more than serious accident; but Western horses do not fall. The major premise stands: even the casual tourist has no real reason for fear, however scared he may become.

 Title:  The Lost Dog.  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE dog was speeding, nose to the ground; he had missed his master 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.

 Title:  The Soft-Hearted Sioux  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: BESIDE the open fire I sat within our tepee. With my red blanket wrapped tightly about my crossed legs, I was thinking of the coming season, my sixteenth winter. On either side of the wigwam were my parents. My father was whistling a tune between his teeth while polishing with his bare hand a red stone pipe he had recently carved. Almost in front of me, beyond the centre fire, my old grandmother sat near the entranceway.

 Title:  The Trial Path  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IT was an autumn night on the plain. The smoke-lapels of the cone-shaped tepee flapped gently in the breeze. From the low night sky, with its myriad fire points, a large bright star peeped in at the smoke-hole of the wigwam between its fluttering lapels, down upon two Dakotas talking in the dark. The mellow stream from the star above, a maid of twenty summers, on a bed of sweet-grass, drank in with her wakeful eyes. On the opposite side of the tepee, beyond the centre fireplace, the grandmother spread her rug. Though once she had lain down, the telling of a story has aroused her to a sitting posture.

 Published:  1995 
 Description: I fancy you at the Powhatan to night and I hope that instead of one letter you will get two from me, there must be some irregular -ity in the mails. I have never failed to write you twice a week and you ought to have receivd a letter before you left Richmond — for St. Julian — if you get both letters you will acknowledge the recip't of them— oh how delighted I should have been at an unespected visit from you and I could not help feeling disappointed that you thought of coming and did not do so but I think you acted wisely — I know if you had consulted your inclination alonethat you would have spent your Christmas with us. You see I am not jealous but I eny Pa his happiness— and hope you had a pleasant trip— I am alone with no other company than John and Juliet— M & V. are at their Grand Pa's I am lonely enough but I was afraid to keep Margaret at home least she should incur then Grand Pa's displeasure, She told him that I would be alone and it seem'd to fret him and I've linquis -hed my claims at once, tho' reluctantly I aſsure you they will be gone all week I expect Juliet tomorrow or the next day I wrote to Father that I should keep him here— Sandy Stuart writes that she was much admired in Washington Staunton is very dull I never knew it as much so as this season— Mr Hamilton was here a few days ago Judge Baldwin examined him and he is now at Judge Smith's will be here tomorrow night— he has concluded to settle in Lexington after a visit to Lynchburg— he has many schemes to numerous to mention in a letter thinks that he can keep house on less than he can board for— which is 300 Dollars— they will beat me in management if they do and hire servants— Mat will not be down this winter——our servants are all hired to the institutions Mary and Ann— we get 40 dolars for it is the best home for them I think I did not consult Ann;— I hold Joe at 120 dollars and expect to get it— he remains at the hospital they can't do without him and must pay for him— John will bring the same— Beverly has not come I expect him this week— Charlotte will be here tomorrow— I never had as little anxiety about hiring the servants— and never did better— Doct. Berkeley has all this on his hands and no homes for them yet— I was there today delivered your message— but he did not say that you should get more things I suppose he will write if he still wants them—my groceries have not arrived yet— I will write as soon as I get them—you would laugh if you could take a peep at my table with two plates and cups on it—me at the head and John at the foot— doing like pa he says he is very attentive to my wants and says if I write you that he is a bad boy he will tane the letters up. he wants to send you some ginger cakes for a Christmaſ gift— Juliet says yet I want to see my Pa—She wont forget you She improves daily I think—they rise every morning before day light and are as merry as crikets— the airtight stove is the greatest comfort to us we manage it better this winter and I could not do without it. Some cold mornings I sit all day in the dining room which is very comfortable the stove burns much less wood than the fire place place did and is much warmer—do write often devote all your leisure moments to me this is asking very little— when you have so few— I think of you all the time. I will write you by Judge Baldwin — Sister Beverly says do send your love to her sometimes I tell her that I cannot share your love with any body— She thinks me very selfish.—

 Title:  Letter from William D. Cabell to his brother Joseph [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: Your very interesting letter came safely to hand and I expected to reply to it by last mail but was prevented from so doing and must now do what I have so long neglected doing. But first to our busineſs: a letter of Mrs. Carrs arrived by the same mail that yours did and that has all been attended to; a draft has been for-warded to her for $75 on your aſc in payment of your bill with her for the last half of your last seſsion with her as boarder &c. No doubt the bill is all correct. You are charged with wood also — but credited only by $20. This renders it neceſsary to curtail my remittance to you and therefore enclosed you have one draft for $75 being as much as I could well remit you at present. I hope it may answer your purposes for the present. The draft will paſs for money with any accommodating merchant who has opportunities to present it.
