A passage from the book... She said she had, and in truth she had, no other name than "little Mammy"; and that was the name of her nature. Pure African, but bronze rather than pure black, and full-sized only in width, her growth having been hampered as to height by an injury to her hip, which had lamed her, pulling her figure awry, and burdening her with a protuberance of the joint. Her mother caused it by dropping her when a baby, and concealing it, for fear of punishment, until the dislocation became irremediable. All the animosity of which little Mammy was capable centered upon this unknown but never-to-be-forgotten mother of hers; out of this hatred had grown her love--that is, her destiny, a woman's love being her destiny. Little Mammy's love was for children.There is much of life passed on the balcony in a country where thesummer unrolls in six moon-lengths, and where the nights have to comewith a double endowment of vastness and splendor to compensate for thetedious, sun-parched daysExperiences, reminiscences, episodes, picked up as only women know how to pick them up from other women's lives,-or other women's destinies, as they prefer to call them,-and told as only women know how to relate them; what God has done or is doing with some other woman whom they have known-that is what interests women once embarked on their own lives,-the embarkation takes place at marriage, or after the marriageable time,-or, rather, that is what interests the women who sit of summer nights on balconies. For in those long-moon countries life is open and accessible, and romances seem to be furnished real and gratis, in order to save, in a languor-breeding climate, the ennui of reading and writing books.

Balcony Stories: Large Print By Grace E. King made up her mind how to act. As for Journel, it amused him more and more. He would go away from the little cottage rubbing his hands with pleasure (he never saw Madame Honorine, by the way, only the General). He would have given far more than thirty dollars a month for this drama; for he was not only rich, but a great farceur. LA GRANDE DEMOISELLE That was what she was called by everybody as soon as she was seen or described. Her name, besides baptismal titles, was Idalie Sainte Foy Mortemart des Islets. When she came into society, in the brilliant little world of New Orleans, it was the event of the season, and after she came in, whatever she did became also events. Whether she went, or did not go; what she said, or did not say; what she wore, and did not wear--all these became important matters of discussion, quoted as much or more than what the president said, or the governor thought. And in those days, the days of '59, New Orleans was not, as it is now, a one-heiress place, but it We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
