Excerpt from Wanted: A Husband: A Novel On the second landing she paused to divide a few moments between hard breathing and hat ing the imitation-leather roll beneath her arm. Including the wall-paper design within, just rejected by B. Riegel 85 Sons, the whole affair might have weighed two pounds. To its ill conditioned bearer it felt like two hundred. She set a hand to her panting chest and a thorn promptly impaled her thumb. Tearing off the offending rose Darcy flung it over the banister rail. It was a flabby, second - hand wraith of a rose, anyhow, having been passed down to the wearer by her flat-mate, Maud Raines, who in turn had it, along with eleven others, from her fiance.

Three men sat in the Cosmic Club discussing the question: "What's the matter with Jones?" Waldemar, the oldest of the conferees, was the owner, and at times the operator, of an important and decent newspaper. His heavy face wore the expression of good-humored power, characteristic of the experienced and successful journalist. Beside him sat Robert Bertram, the club idler, slender and languidly elegant. The third member of the conference was Jones himself.

VAN TENNER was a man who pursued his way through life by fixed habits. He lived in Philadelphia. That was one of the habits. He ate regularly, slept regularly, rose regularly, worked regularly and went to the club regularly; all this within the limits of a very comfortable income. He never overstrained this income.

Nach dem 1916 erschienenen Roman von Samuel Hopkins Adams The Unspeakable PerkRomantik und gefährliche Abenteuer auf einer tropischen Insel - doch wer ist der geheimnisvolle Käfermann?Eine gelangweilte Tochter aus der besseren Gesellschaft hat ihren Vater zu einem Aufenthalt in dem politisch instabilen, aber wunderschönen mittelamerikanischen Land überredet. Ihre eigentliche Absicht: drei Verehrern zu entkommen, deren Hartnäckigkeit sie als lästig empfindet. Einer der drei ist so versessen auf eine Heirat, dass er ihr nachfolgt. Bei dem Versuch, ihm aus dem Weg zu gehen, begegnet sie einem Amerikaner, der anders ist als alle anderen Männer, die sie je kennengelernt hat. Er ist ein Naturforscher, ein 'Käfermann', der in seiner übergroßen, gefleckten Kleidung und seiner dicken dunklen Brille selbst wie ein Käfer aussieht. Er ist ein Einsiedler, der die Gesellschaft seiner Landsleute meidet, tagsüber im Wald und am Strand nach Exemplaren sucht und auf einem Hügel lebt, auf dem vielleicht auch eine junge Frau wohnt. Polly ist fasziniert und fragt sich, ob es möglich ist, all die Geheimnisse zu lüften, die er so entschlossen zu verbergen scheint.

The Great American Fraud: Articles On The Nostrum Evil And Quacks is a book written by Samuel Hopkins Adams. It is a collection of articles that were originally published in Collier's Weekly between 1905 and 1906. The book exposes the fraudulent practices of the patent medicine industry in the United States during the early 20th century. Adams investigates the claims made by various manufacturers of medicines and exposes the dangerous and often deadly ingredients that were used in their products.
