  Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon.

  His eye, fixed in cold command upon the boy, compelled obedience. And the lad, more out of awe of that glance than out of any desire to contribute to the saving of Hogan, mutely consented to keep up this pretence. But in his soul he rebelled. He had been reared in an atmosphere of honourable and religious bigotry. Hogan was to him a coarse ruffler; an evil man of the sword; such a man as he abhorred and accounted a disgrace to any army—particularly to an army launched upon England under the auspices of the Solemn League and Covenant....FROM THE BOOKS.

  A woman gives a dinner party, feels an inexplicable happiness all evening, and learns something at the end of it that costs her the feeling for good. Mansfield left New Zealand at nineteen, remade the English short story almost single-handed, and wrote most of these while dying of tuberculosis; Virginia Woolf said hers was the only writing she was ever jealous of. Fifty-seven plates, among them Sickert and Philip de László, gather the London streets, music rooms and draped interiors of Mansfield's own milieu.

  The general cracked his whip without any other comment than a smile. A blood mare tore sparks out of the macadam, and a dusty military road began to ribbon out between the wheels. Sentries in unexpected places announced themselves with a ring of shaken steel as their rifles came to the "present," which courtesies the general noticed with a raised whip. Then a fox-terrier resumed his chase of squirrels between the planted shade-trees, and Peshawur became normal, shimmering in light and heat reflected from the "Hills...FROM THE BOOKS.
