  • Seventeen
    Booth Tarkington
    William Sylvanus Baxter paused for a moment of thought in front of the drug-store at the corner of Washington Street and Central Avenue. He had an internal question to settle before he entered the store: he wished to allow the young man at the soda-fountain no excuse for saying, 'Well, make up your mind what it’s goin’ to be, can’t you?' Rudeness of this kind, especially in the...

  • Ramsey Milholland
    Booth Tarkington
    The old man and the little boy, his grandson, sat together in the shade of the big walnut tree in the front yard, watching the 'Decoration Day Parade,' as it passed up the long street; and when the last of the veterans was out of sight the grandfather murmured the words of the tune that came drifting back from the now distant band at the head of the procession. 'Yes, we’ll...

  • The Gentleman from Indiana
    Booth Tarkington

That was not a f...

    Booth Tarkington
    The maple-bordered street was as still as a country Sunday; so quiet that there seemed an echo to my footsteps. It was four o’clock in the morning; clear October moonlight misted through the thinning foliage to the shadowy sidewalk and lay like a transparent silver fog upon the house of my admiration, as I strode along, returning from my first night’s work on the 'Wainwright Mo...
