WEEK THREE:
- Mrs Ripley’s Trip by Hamlin Garland: “Ho! Ho! har! Sho! be y’, now? I want to know if y’ be.”.
- A Village Singer by Mary Wilkins Freeman: She felt faint; the woman next her slipped a peppermint into her hand.
- The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce: I fancy there are few persons living to-day who ever knew the secret of that window, but I am one, as you shall see.
- The Real Thing by Henry James: “It’s very awkard, but we absolutely must do something,” her husband went on.
- Tennessee’s Partner by Bret Harte: How he met it, how cool he was, how he refused to say anything, how perfect were the arrangements of the committee, were all duly reported, with the addition of a warning moral and example to all future evil doers, in the Red Dog Clarion, by its editor, who was present, and to whose vigorous English I cheerfully refer the reader.
- Baker’s Bluejay Yarn by Mark Twain: Animals talk to each other, of course.
- Barleby the Scrivner by Herman Melville: Ah Bartleby! Ah humanity!
