Fragments of an Autobiography

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

I well remember the terrors of a certain night when the wind was howling and the rain was beating down in torrents over the arid plains of the Lüneburger Haide; between them they had blown or blotted out the flickering lights of a heavy, lumbering travelling carriage such as one used to hire in the so-called good old times.

Fanny Herself

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

It has become the fashion among novelists to introduce their hero in knee pants, their heroine in pinafore and pigtails. Time was when we were rushed up to a stalwart young man of twenty-four, who was presented as the pivot about whom the plot would revolve. Now we are led, protesting, up to a grubby urchin of five and are invited to w...

Forge of Foxenby

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 But, until the ball is seen resting in the back of the net, it is as unwise to count a goal as it is to reckon chickens still in the shell. There was a youth behind the Foxenby posts with a muddy mark on the side of his face, and he at least knew no goal had been scored.

Fifty Years a Detective

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 This book was not published for the purpose of displaying any literary ability I may possess, as I have never aspired to win fame by the wielding of a pen. Within its pages, however, I have attempted, in my own way and in my own manner, to make clear to the reader the inside or hitherto unpublished facts about some of the big cases I ...

Free Joe and Other Georgian Sketches

Cate: Children's Novel  Author:novel 

 The name of Free Joe strikes humorously upon the ear of memory. It is impossible to say why, for he was the humblest, the simplest, and the most serious of all God\'s living creatures, sadly lacking in all those elements that suggest the humorous. It is certain, moreover, that in 1850 the sober-minded citizens of the little Georgian v...

Fortune and Ot

Cate: Short Stories  Author:novel 

 It does not matter where it was. I do not want other people—that is to say, those who were around us—to recognize Sister or myself. It is not likely that she will see this, and I am not sure that she knows my name. Of course, some one may draw her attention to this paper, and she may remember that the name affixed to it is that which ...

Fame and Fortune or, The Progress of Richard Hunter

Cate: Children's Novel  Author:novel 

 \"Fame and Fortune,\" like its predecessor, \"Ragged Dick,\" was contributed as a serial story to the \"Schoolmate,\" a popular juvenile magazine published in Boston.
