  Haunted House The (Unabridged)

  "The Haunted House" is a story series published in 1859 for the weekly periodical All the Year Round. It was "Conducted by Charles Dickens", with Charles Dickens writing the opening and closing stories, framing stories by Dickens himself and five other authors.
  The story appeared in the Extra Christmas Number on 13 December 1859. Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with A Christmas Carol in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution. The Haunted House was his 1859 offering.
  In Dickens's opening story, The Mortals in the House, the narrator's ("John") health "required a temporary residence in the country." Knowing this, a friend of the narrator had chanced to drive by the house-situated close to a railroad stop mid-way between Northern England and London-and had written to the narrator suggesting he travel down from the North and look the place over. It was a large mid-eighteenth-century manor house on two square acres with a "sadly neglected garden," recently cheaply repaired, and "much too closely and heavily shadowed by trees." The house itself is "stiff ... cold ... [and] formal" and "in as bad taste, as could possibly be desired by the most loyal admirer of the whole quartet of [King] Georges." It was "ill-placed, ill-built, ill-planned, and ill-fitted." It was "damp ... not free from dry rot" and redolent with the "flavour of rats."

  ‘The Wilful Woman’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1922. 'The Wilful Woman' remained unfinished and so the tough, spoiled, rich American woman, used to having her own way, does not get the nemesis Lawrence may have had in mind for her. Whether it was the Wordsworthian lessons of nature as she battles her way through the American wilderness or the harder lessons of a waiting husband who may or may not want her, we will never know.

  Jane Austen's timeless novel, Sense and Sensibility, follows the lives of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, as they navigate the complexities of love, societal expectations, and personal growth in early 19th-century England. 
  The story begins with the Dashwood family facing a sudden change in their circumstances. After the death of their father, the estate of Norland Park passes to their half-brother John, leaving the sisters and their mother in a precarious financial situation. Forced to relocate to the modest Barton Cottage in Devonshire, the Dashwood women must adapt to a new way of life while confronting the challenges of the marriage market. 
  Elinor and Marianne, though sisters, are quite different in their personalities and approaches to life. Elinor, the elder sister, embodies the qualities of sense—practicality, restraint, and a keen understanding of the social norms of the time. Marianne, on the other hand, represents sensibility—a passionate, emotional, and impulsive nature that often puts her at odds with the expectations of society. 
  As the sisters encounter potential suitors and navigate the intricate web of relationships, they each face unique obstacles and personal growth. Elinor finds herself drawn to a man whose circumstances are complicated by a secret engagement, while Marianne's heart is captured by a charming but unreliable admirer. 
  Through a series of unexpected twists and turns, both sisters learn valuable lessons about the importance of balancing emotion and reason, the true nature of love, and the strength of family bonds. As they confront their own preconceptions and the expectations of others, Elinor and Marianne discover that the path to happiness is not always straightforward.
