1904A Kidnapped Santa ClausSo Wisk the Fairy transported himself to the bower of the Fairy Queen, which was located deep in the heart of the Forest of Burzee; and once there, it did not take him long to find out all about the naughty Daemons and how they had kidnapped the good Santa Claus to prevent his making children happy.1909Seven English CitiesOne must not judge it too severely, though: bowers and prisons of that day looked much alike, and Mary Stuart may have felt this a bower, and only hated it because she could not get out of it, or anyhow break the relentless hold of that Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury whose captive guest she was, though she never ceased trying.1920Glimpses of BengalWhen she arrived in her bower with the dust on her body soaked by the rain into a coating of mud, she must have been a sight!Labels: Frank L.
