Transcriber's Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors repaired.

Both hillside and hill-side were used in this book and were retained.

Text uses both BelovÈd and Beloved once.

In the original text, each story began with the title on a page alone, then a blank page, then the title was repeated at the start of the story itself. These repeated titles were removed to avoid redundancy.

The remaining correction made is indicated by a dotted line under the correction. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
