La Parure - The Ornament - The Necklace - Maupassant's Masterpiece

Image
Don't fall for this (excuse my ...) : Brander Matthews (18521929). The Short-Story. 1907. Here's the corrected version :  The Necklace By Guy de Maupassant SHE was one of those pretty and charming girls, born by a blunder of destiny in a family of employees. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, loved, married by a man rich and distinguished; and she let herself be married to a lowly clerk in the Department of Education. She dressed simply since she could not be adorned; but she was unhappy as though fallen from a higher class; for women have no caste and no descent, their beauty, their grace, and their charm serving them instead of birth and fortune.

Wodehouse on Doyle

The best book intro known to man. Pelham Grenville on Arthur Conan Doyle in Ballantine's 1975 edition of The Sign of the Four Bully Comics' reconstruction When I was starting out as a writer—this would be about the time Caxton invented the printing press—Conan Doyle was my hero. Others might revere Hardy and Meredith. I was a Doyle man, and I still am. Usually we tend to discard the idols of our youth as we grow older, but I have not had this experience with A.C.D. I thought him swell then, and I think him swell now. We were great friends in those days. our friendship interrupted only when I went to live in America. He was an enthusiastic cricketer-he could have played for any first-class county-and he used to have cricket weeks at his place in the country, to which I was nearly always invited. And after a day's cricket and a big dinner he and I would discuss literature. The odd thing was that though he could be expansive about his least known short stories - those in Round...
