Excerpt from Gladys: A Romance The doctor paused in the rather blind groping of his way up the cabin stairs, first to scrutinize his welcomer, then, as recognition dawned upon his dazzled vision, to reply in a brusque tone quite at variance with his hearty grasp of the hand.

Excerpt from The Book of Romance IT is to be supposed that children do not read Prefaces these are Bluebeard's rooms, which they are not curious to unlock. A few words may therefore be said about the Romances contained in this book. In the editor's Opinion, romances are only fairy tales grown up. The whole mass of the plot and incident of romance was invented by nobody knows who, nobody knows when, nobody knows where. Almost every people has the Cinderella story, with all sorts Of variations a boy hero in place Of a girl heroine, a beast in place of a fairy godmother, and so on. The Zunis, an agricultural tribe of New Mexico, have a version in which the moral turns out to be against poor Cinderella, who comes to an ill end. The Red Indians have the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, told in a very touching shape, but without the music. On the other hand, the negroes in the States have the Orpheus tale, adapted to plantation life, in a form which is certainly borrowed from Europeans. This version was sent to me some years ago, by Mr. Barnet Phillips, Brooklyn, New York, and I give it here for its curiosity. If the proper names, Jim Orpus and Dicey, had not been given, we might not feel absolutely certain that the story was borrowed. It is a good example of adaptation from the heroic age of Greece to the servile age Of Africans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
