"Well, look who's here. Our new tenderfoot himself." Abby eased gently into the big wine-colored chair.
The man across the room scowled and fiddled with his hands and looked at the floor.
Emmie sighed ever so slightly. "I told them we could handle this assignment ourselves."
The man muttered. "Well. This was an important case."
Abby sniffed delicately. Emmie put her hand up' to her mouth and whispered, "It's all right, Abby. They probably had to give him something to keep him busy. He won't hurt anything."
"Mustn't have professional jealousy, you know," the man added defensively.
After Diana, Mary Wiley
After Diana, Mary Wiley
Manuscripts
The clink of coffee-cups is pleasant here.
See, I have drawn the curtains fast, and shut
The moon's distracting light from our bright hearth.
Your grave brown warmth is heightened so
And I do not remember with such pain how sweet
The star's carress falls on the traveller's face,
When first he lifts it up to worship them.
The Concert, Joseph Berry
The Concert, Joseph Berry
Manuscripts
The small, quiet man sat before a great sparkling mirror and swore quietly as he rubbed prodigious quantities of rouge onto his sallow complexion. He surveyed his rosy cheeks in the glass, stood erect and made a mocking bow, very deeply, very slowly.
"And you also, you ass? I'm extremely delighted to hear you say so. Really, you're too kind. Really. Why, it couldn't have been that fine, you're just flattering me. You fool, you wouldn't know a bow from a mute. All you ever look at is my shoes. 'Performance in proportion to square of brilliance.' Is my tie …

Dictator, Rachel Whelan
Dictator, Rachel Whelan
Manuscripts
We stood between the giant columns of the mighty triumphal arch high above the riotous crowd of rejoicing people. Three of us, the spokesman, Comrade Jones, and I, stood on the decorated platform waiting for the cheering to cease, for the bands to stop playing, for some semblance of order so that the ceremony might begin.
Soliloquy At Dusk, Bob Harris

Turn low the lights
Half shut the shutters
Seek out the comfort
Of your favorite easy chair
And there
In the intermingled mists
Of lights and shadows
I shall relate to you

Pity The Poor Artists, William E. Hickson
Pity The Poor Artists, William E. Hickson
Manuscripts
Sometime, when I have a few years to spare, I am going to run down the fable that has grown up around artists. I always wondered just when and where the idea started that artists were a people set apart, not just a section of our race in general. Being an artist myself, I resent both the idealism and the degradation that the world has endowed upon this simple everyday man who has chosen art as a profession.
Flames Along The Thames, Richard H. Jowitt
Flames Along The Thames, Richard H. Jowitt
Manuscripts
A thousand flames ascend on high;
A thousand voices shouting cry,
"Oh, God, why must you now deny
our homes!"
Memory Picture, John Gumerson
Memory Picture, John Gumerson
Manuscripts
It is a delicate, fragile picture - that first memory. It must be handled carefully like an important aged document lest it crumble to dust. Swiftly, silently it must be viewed, for too much revealing of it fades into an obscure mist which defies definite outline. Yet transparent it stands - that Christmas of my fourth year.
The Life Of A Pledge, Betty Lee Snyder
The Life Of A Pledge, Betty Lee Snyder
Manuscripts
Rush week, came, and after the whirl
I emerged a sorority girl
(Oh no-I mean a potential one--
My year as a pledge has just begun).
Lights Out, Thelma De Boer
Lights Out, Thelma De Boer
Manuscripts
One night two lightning bugs were resting on the same twig. The first lightning bug introduced himself and started the conversation.
The Feel Of The Soil, Norma Jackson
The Feel Of The Soil, Norma Jackson
Manuscripts
When we arose, the sun had not yet begun to send its warmth through the rich brown earth of this southern Indiana farm. However, we were to plant potatoes and had a big day ahead. Soon the equipment was ready, and off I ran beside the horses, loving every particle of soft, red dust that played between the toes of my bare, brown feet. The road to the field was covered with this powdery, fine dust. It was my childhood obsession to make footprints, handprints, and pictures in it.

Rhapsodically Speaking, Alice Jean Fisher
Rhapsodically Speaking, Alice Jean Fisher
Manuscripts
Like timid pizzicatos riding a sustained legato, the cricket sounds outside my window are cradling themselves in the fused night noises. Rising in gentle crescendos above them are waves of wind; now they waken the leaves; soft bits of breeze sift through screen and curtain to move a curl across my cheek - shyly, like a child fearfully touching a dog; and shyly too, retire till the now tremulous vibrato of the crickets plays the nocturnal solo once more. The wind mounts again. It throbs against these brick walls; rudely musses my hair, disturbing my thoughts; the sleeper on the …
Gardenia Memories, R. Gordon Moores
Gardenia Memories, R. Gordon Moores
Manuscripts
A dazzling stream of golden morning sunlight slants between claret coloured drapes to touch three gardenias on a mahogany dressing table.
The Forbidden Fruit, Catherine Cunningham
The Forbidden Fruit, Catherine Cunningham
Manuscripts
There are few people who have not known the thrill of "tasting the forbidden fruit." The desire to indulge in this exciting adventure is usually at its height when one is about fourteen, at least, in my experience it was especially pressing at that age. One of the "fruits" forbidden by my father and mother was flying; so, quite naturally, I began to "scout around" for someone to take me up. My father had always said that he would never fly until it was absolutely necessary, and mother argued that as far as she was concerned it would never be …
Combat, Jack Retherford
Combat, Jack Retherford
Manuscripts
The place was a small clearing in a forest in British Columbia. The contenders were two buck deer of about the same build, but one was younger than the other. The time was early morning, and the prize at stake was a herd of four does.

Jerry thought a moment. Then "I can't remember any memory verse from last Thunday. If I'm not absent any Thunday this quarter, will I get a bag of marbles?"
Trite, Alfred Brown
Trite, Alfred Brown
Manuscripts
"Everything is trite; nothing is new." Such is the expression of opinion I have heard in regard to all written and spoken thought - barring science. Who told that to me? Was it Miss Beuret? Have I heard it or read it from some other source? Never mind, the opinion probably is true.
The Sisters, Jeanne Gass
The Sisters, Jeanne Gass
Manuscripts
"Kathy! Kathy! There's horses down there. Right down there by the river!" Pete came running, red pig-tails flying. Her old brown coat was slipping off one shoulder, her rolled stockings were drooping, and she was breathless with running and the excitement of her news. "There're right down there."
Two Poems, Mary Wiley
Favorites --- I Hate Them, Isadore Camhi
Favorites --- I Hate Them, Isadore Camhi
Manuscripts
It's a natural and very common prejudice, I think. Possibly you foster the same one. In me, however, it amounts to an obsession, a supreme dislike for -- favorites. It doesn't matter what kind of favorite it may be; a favorite book, a well-known actor, a famous food, a highly-touted athlete, or possibly even a favorite teacher. I'm against all of them -- before I know exactly why.
Aesthetic Pleasure, Betty Murnan
Aesthetic Pleasure, Betty Murnan
Manuscripts
Kitty looked skeptically at the tall soda glass in her left hand. It wasn't too shiny, so she dropped it into the dish water - not that she was particular - but sodas were her specialty. There was nothing she liked better than watching a soda bubble up in a tall glass. She took another glass from the shelf behind her, jerked just the right amount of chocolate syrup into it, tipped it sideways, and ran a thin, hard stream of carbonated water clear around the edge of the syrup until it bubbled nearly up to the rim of the …

Educating For Democracy, Fred W. Michel
Educating For Democracy, Fred W. Michel
Manuscripts
Education in a democracy must of necessity be of a type which will perpetuate that democracy. This being true, our problem automatically resolves itself into the discussion of three questions: What is education? What is democracy? What elements must be present in the ideal educational system which will further the democracy that nourishes it?
