Shanghai had changed. We sensed that the moment we came ashore. Extraterritoriality was long gone; we had known that, of course.

The House of Defence v. 2
Maud was lying in a long chair on the lawn after lunch the following afternoon, defending Christian Science from the gibes (which were keen) of the mockers, who were many. She had an ally, it is true, in the person of Alice Yardly, who, in her big hat and white dress, with a blue sash, looked like a doubtful Romney, and was smiling, literally with all her might. The more the mockers mocked, the kinder grew her smile, and the more voluble her explanations. Maud, for her part, would sooner have done battle alone, for all that Alice as an ally did was, with great precision and copious...

The Way of Decision
The story captures numerous small colonies based on unusual perceptions of family unit and social group. Most of them failed in practice, but usually because they were based on idealistic ideas that had little to do with the economic or social needs of their time. But what can such a group face when a new member, a person who does not understand the real conditions, has to be accepted as a member? And what about the new theory of family and social unit that is designed to fit the real world?...

The Research Magnificent
The story of William Porphyry Benham is the story of a man whose idea came to fruition. It was an idea that captured his imagination early in life, grew with him and changed with him, finally intertwining with his being. His story is his story. This was observed in a student; it was clearly present in his mind at the very last moment of his adventurous life. He belonged to a happy minority that was not dependent on the necessities of life, so he could freely walk the world under his leadership. This brought him far. It led him to situations bordering on the fantastic, it made him funny, it...
