A Slav Soul and Other Stories

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

\"Oh how incomprehensible for us, how mysterious, how strange are the very simplest happenings in life.

Autobiography of a Child

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel

Astronomy for Young Australians

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

A Fine ship was buffeting the waves, like a strong swimmer in his sport. The clouds dashed wildly to and fro, but left many wide spaces of blue to be dotted with stars. The sea was in high spirits, throwing up spray, as if to quench the bright lights that looked down so kindly upon it.

A fair slope of land in buttercup-time, just when May, the capricious, melts into tender June—a slope of fertile pasture within two miles of the city of Eborsham, whose cathedral towers rise tall in the blue dim distance—a wealth of hedgerow flowers on every side, and all the air full of their faint sweet perfume, mixed with the odorou...

A Charming Fellow

Cate: Classical Novels  Author:novel 

The room was very quiet. The autumn day was fading, and the mingling of twilight and firelight, and the stillness of the scene, were conducive to mute meditation. It was a long, low room, with an uneven floor, a whitewashed ceiling crossed by heavy beams, and one large bow window. It was furnished with the spindle-legged chairs and tab...
