Excerpt from The Alabaster Box I thought you would be surprised my dear boy." With these words he concluded a communication which had been brief but startling; and his manner was aggressive, even defiant. "Yes," his son replied, "I have - I confess - been surprised. I have never, in fact, in all my life been so much - surprised." He spoke slowly, and, since words may sometimes enlarge their meanings with the manner of utterance, anyone might have thought that the surprise included disgust. The two were sitting in a dining-room, and it was after dinner. One of them was a man of sixty-five or perhaps seventy; the other was a young man of twenty-five. The elder man sat in one of those chairs invented for persons afflicted with paralysis, and provided with wheels, which the patient can if he pleases use by himself. The decanters stood on the table, and the old man helped himself to a glass of port. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"We," said Mrs. Solomon Black with weighty emphasis, "are going to get up a church fair and raise that money, and we are going to pay your salary. We can't stand it another minute. We had better run in debt to the butcher and baker than to the Lord."Wesley Elliot regarded her gloomily. "I never liked the idea of church fairs very well," he returned hesitatingly. "It has always seemed to me like sheer beggary.""Then," said Mrs. Solomon Black, "we will beg."Mrs. Solomon Black was a woman who had always had her way. There was not one line which denoted yielding in her large, still handsome face, set about with very elaborate water-waves which she had arranged so many years that her black hair needed scarcely any attention. It would almost seem as if Mrs. Solomon Black had been born with water waves.

Excerpt from That Alabaster Box In order, then, to ascertain the length, and breadth, and depth, and height of our duty under this principle, only two things need to be ascertained, First, what opportunities are at hand to attest our devotion to our Saviour; and Second, what resources are within our control and at our disposition to make the attestation. And hardly can we be at a loss for an answer to either Of these questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An Alabaster Box This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
