"A Nest of Linnets", a book by Frank Frankfort Moore, Sparkling historical romance set in Bath in the second half of the 18th century. This book is loosely based on the elopement of the playwright Richard Sheridan and the beautiful but sensitive singer Elizabeth Linley, who was the subject of some of Gainsborough's most famous portraits. Did reality jeopardize a good romance? To what end?
"This will never do, Betsy," said Mr. Linley, shaking his head. "Sir Joshua calls you Saint Cecilia, but 'twere a misnomer if you do not sing the phrase better than you have just sung it. 'She drew an angel down': let that be in your mind, my dear. There is no celestial being that would move a pinion to help a maiden who implored its aid in so half-hearted a way. Let us try again. One, two, three--" "'Angels, ever bright and fair, '" sang Miss Linley.
Excerpt from A Nest of Linnets "This will never do, Betsy," said Mr. Linley, shaking his head. "Sir Joshua calls you Saint Cecilia, but 'twere a misnomer if you do not sing the phrase better than you have just sung it. ' She drew an angel down *: let that be in your mind, my dear. There is no celestial being that would move a pinion to help a maiden who implored its aid in so half-hearted a way. Let us try again. One, two, three - " "'Angels, ever bright and fair,'" sang Miss Linley. Her father sprang from the harpsichord. "Gracious powers, madam ! the angels are not in the next room-they are not even in Pierrepont Street, take my word for it; they are in heaven, and heaven, let me tell you, is a very long way from Bath ! * he cried. " Give forth the ' Angels5 as if you meant to storm the ears of heaven with your cry. Think of it, girl-think that you are lost, eternally lost, unless you can obtain help that is not of earth. Stun their ears, madam, with the suddenness of your imploration, and let the voice come from your heart. Betsy, that smile is not in the music.

The Doctor of Crows Nest (Classic Reprint) by Ralph Connor Pdf
Excerpt from The Doctor of Crows Nest There were two ways by which one could get to the old stone mill. One, from the side-road by a lane which, edged with grassy, flower-decked banks, wound between snake fences, along which straggled irregular clumps of hazel and blue beech, dogwood and thorn bushes, and beyond which stretched on one side fields of grain just heading out this bright June morning, and on the other side a long strip of hay fields of mixed timothy and red clover, generous of colour and perfume, which ran along the snake fence till it came to a potato patch which, in turn, led to an orchard where the lane began to drop down to the mill valley. At the crest of the hill travellers with even the merest embryonic aesthetic taste were forced to pause. For there the valley with its sweet loveliness lay in full view before them. Far away to the right, out of an angle in the woods, ran the mill creek to fill the pond which brimmed gleaming to the green bank of the dam. Beyond the pond a sloping, grassy sward showed green under an open beech and maple woods. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Magpie's Nest Hope was apparently all alone in the centre of a vast unpeopled reach Of yellow grass and pale blue sky. Very far off and dim were the mountains. She meant some day to go and see what was beyond them. Yet, when she topped the rise which gave her a sight of home, and beheld saddled horses which betokened strange guests, standing patiently at the corral, she hesitated a long ten minutes and then made a wide de tour, coming into the house by the kitchen door.
