Sinossi

The timid rabbit who outwits the tyrannical bear, the wonderful turtle who marries the Indian chief's daughter, the pet crane who saves a family—these and many other legendary figures appear in Myths and Legends of the Sioux. Marie L. McLaughlin, born to a white father and a mixed-blood Sioux mother, heard these stories while growing up among the eastern Sioux of Minnesota. When she recorded them for posterity in 1916 she had long been the wife of James McLaughlin, whom she served as interpreter during the years he was head of the Devils Lake and Standing Rock agencies and an inspector for the Indian Bureau. The thirty-eight pieces in this collection are rich in humor, animal lore, otherworldly encounters, and famous legends such as those featuring Unktomi (Spider) and the Stone Boy.

    In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story. 
    For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case -- for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.  
    Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

    Warning: Explicit Content. An ENF Submissive Female Story of Intense Humiliation. "Husbands Back in Charge" Series. Jared and Colleen Ryan sure have a great life together. Now that their kids are grown, they’ve taken their mechanical engineering experience overseas to begin their next life chapter living and working in Hamburg, Germany. But working for a large firm in another country is not without its “adjustments.” 
     
    Case in point: They have just been notified by their arrogant, dictatorial boss, Karl Schmidt, that all personnel are to report immediately to the company’s large conference room for physicals! Well, that bit of news has sure shaken them up…just not quite in the same way. Colleen is mortified when she walks in and finds that the conference room has been turned into a veritable clinic. And as one of only a few women in her department, she is now virtually surrounded by men. Now, her ordeal really begins when everyone is ordered to undress completely and don a paper gown. And everything goes downhill from there. 
     
    What kind of company is this anyway? Women are expected to undergo very intimate and very demeaning procedures while a dozen male coworkers simply stand there and watch? This is crazy! Even worse than crazy: The positions she is ordered to assume and the indignities she must endure would humiliate any woman. But for a woman as modest and inhibited as her, it is nothing short of horrific. 
     
    Fans of ENF stories featuring sweet and sexy wives being driven to utter humiliation in front of a roomful of horny men, this story is for you! And it’s for all the husbands out there who, like Jared Ryan, happen to think that red cheeks and a bit of shivering can look pretty sexy on a woman—especially if that woman is gorgeous, shapely, and way too modest for his own good!
