Excerpt from Fidelity: A NovelIt was hard to get back into the easy current of everyday talk. Cora Albright's question had too rudely pulled them out of it, disturbing the quiet ﬂow of inconsequential things. Even when they had recovered and were safely ﬂowing along on the fact that the new hotel was to cost two hun dred thousand dollars, after they had moved with apparent serenity to lamentation over a neighbor who was sick in bed and without a cook, it was as if they were making a display of the ease with which they could move on those commonplace things, as if thus to deny the consciousness of Whirlpools near by.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Trifles

<p>A Farmer is found dead in the middle of winter. Strangled in his bed. When a neighboring farmer comes upon the scene the following day, he is left with no choice but to notify the sheriff. The sheriff wastes no time taking the farmer's wife, Minnie, into custody after hearing her claim to have been sleeping soundly when the tragic event occurred. As the neighbor retells his story to the sheriff and county attorney; their wives, who are there to collect personal property for Minnie, begin to form there own conclusions. And will their discoveries and growing sympathy for an isolated farmer's wife cause them to suppress vital and condemning evidence? Trifles is a timeless classic. Based on the true story of a murder that Susan Glaspell covered for a Des Moines newspaper in 1900.</p>

Excerpt from Act I: (The glass door swings violently in, snow blowing in, and also MR HARRY ARCHER, wrapped in a rug.) ANTHONY: Oh, please close the door, sir. HARRY: Do you think I'm not trying to? (he holds it open to say this) ANTHONY: But please do. This stormy air is not good for the plants. HARRY: I suppose it's just the thing for me! Now, what do you mean, Anthony, by not answering the phone when I buzz for you? ANTHONY: Miss Claire—Mrs Archer told me not to. HARRY: Told you not to answer me? ANTHONY: Not you especially—nobody but her. HARRY: Well, I like her nerve—and yours. ANTHONY: You see, she thought it took my mind from my work to be interrupted when I'm out here. And so it does. So she buzzes once long and—Well, she buzzes her way, and all other buzzing— HARRY: May buzz. ANTHONY: (nodding gravely) She thought it would be better for the flowers. HARRY: I am not a flower—true, but I too need a little attention—and a little heat. Will you please tell me why the house is frigid? ANTHONY: Miss Claire ordered all the heat turned out here, (patiently explaining it to MISS CLAIRE's speechless husband) You see the roses need a great deal of heat.

The Verge

Excerpt from Chapter 1: Cora did not appear to get from their silence that she was violating Freeport custom. "Her mother died just about a year after Ruth—left, didn't she?" she pursued. "About that," he tersely answered. "Died of a broken heart," murmured Mrs. Lawrence. "She died of pneumonia," was his retort, a little sharp for a young man to an older woman. Her slight wordless murmur seemed to comment on his failure to see. She turned to Cora with a tolerant, gently-spoken, "I think Deane would have to admit that there was little force left for fighting pneumonia. Certainly it was a broken life!"—that last was less gently said. Exasperation showed in his shifting of position. "It needn't have been," he muttered stubbornly.
