Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

1916. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the
niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas
Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a
character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. Lady Connie begins:
Well, now we've done all we can, and all I mean to do, said Alice
Hooper, with a pettish accent of fatigue. Everything's perfectly
comfortable, and if she doesn't like it, we can't help it. I don't
know why we make such a fuss. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
1909. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the
niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas
Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a
character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. The book begins: A
stifling hot day! General Hobson lifted his hat and mopped his
forehead indignantly. What on earth this place can be like in June
I can't conceive! The tenth of April, and I'll be bound the
thermometer's somewhere near eighty in the shade. You never find
the English climate playing you these tricks. Roger Barnes looked
at his uncle with amusement. Don't you like heat, Uncle Archie? Ah,
but I forgot, it's American heat. See other titles by this author

1917. With a Preface by Theodore Roosevelt. The novelist Mrs.
Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew
Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of
Rugby School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom
Brown's Schooldays. This volume is, in a sense, a sequel to
England's Effort-one of the most successful of all war books. It
is, in fact, a graphic revelation of the verification at the front
of the prophecy England's Effort implied-that as England's effort
was to the utmost she would soon be striking out as hard and as
skillfully as any belligerent, and in the direction of a certain
victory. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
Publishing.
1903. Part Two of Two. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold
Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter
of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was
immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays.
The second volume of Lady Rose's Daughter begins: On the morning
following these events, Warkworth went down to the Isle of Wight to
see his mother. On the journey he thought much of Julie. They had
parted awkwardly the night before. The evening, which had promised
so well, had, after all, lacked finish and point. What on earth had
that tiresome Miss Lawrence wanted with him? They had talked of
Simla and the Moffats. The conversation had gone in spurts, she
looking at him every now and then with eyes that seemed to say more
than her words. All that she had actually said was perfectly
insignificant and trivial. Yet there was something curious in her
manner, and when the time came for him to take his departure she
had bade him a frosty little farewell. See other titles by this

1920. Frontispiece by Allan Gilbert. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey
Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold,
and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby
School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's
Schooldays. Harvest begins: Two old laborers came out of the lane
leading to Great End Farm. Both carried bags slung on sticks over
their shoulders. One, the eldest and tallest, was a handsome
fellow, with regular features and a delicately humorous mouth. His
stoop and his slouching gait, the gray locks also, which straggled
from under his broad hat, showed him an old man-probably very near
his old-age pension. But he carried still with him a look of youth,
and he had been a splendid creature in this time. The other was
short of stature and of neck, bent besides by field work. A
broadly-build, clumsy man, with something gnome-like about him, and
the cheerful look of one whose country nerves had never known the
touch of worry or long sickness. The name of the taller man was
Peter Halsey, and Joseph Batts was his companion. See other titles

1906. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the
niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas
Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a
character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. Fenwick's Career
begins: Really, mother, I can't sit any more. I'm that stiff -and
as cold as anything. So said Miss Bella Morrison, as she rose from
her seat with an affected yawn and stretch. In speaking she looked
at her mother, and not at the painter to whom she had been sitting
for nearly two hours. The young man in question stood embarrassed
and silent, his palette on his thumb, brush and mahlstick
suspended. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
