【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】What Dreams Are Made On【電子書籍】[ Helen Fischer ]

＜p＞SUMMARY:＜br /＞ Lillian, an Australian lady, impulsively packs her bags and takes a trip on the QEII, where she meets Winston, an Englishman who sweeps her off her feet.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After spending time together on the cruise, they decide to stay a further two months decorating Winston's recently purchased property on the island St Maartins in the Caribbean where they stopped off during the cruise.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is not long before they both realise their love for one another, which goes far beyond a great sexual relationship. Having to say their goodbyes in New York, Winston returns home to his stately mansion in Suffolk, where he learns his housekeeper has mysteriously disappeared.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Later, he asks Lillian to fly over for a visit. She is surprised by his extraordinary wealth and although she knew of his title, she didn't know＜br /＞ that he was exceptionally well known as Lord Bramble throughout England.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lillian adores Winston's teenage daughter Louise, and immediately they form a bond. Lillian meets Winston's younger and disturbed brother Claude. She has an eerie feeling in his presence. Cocaine is then found on Winston's＜br /＞ property and Lillian learns that Claude is a member of the underworld, trafficking drugs to and from Hong Kong and has been charged with＜br /＞ possession of narcotics. While Lillian is there, Claude is being harassed by notorious criminals; the Boston Boys. At Louise's birthday party, an intruder disguised as a policeman shoots both Claude and Winston.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Winston, after recovering from the shooting, marries Lillian. Later to her great surprise finds out she is pregnant, and has been since St Maartins. Lillian, who is not sure how Winston will react, hides this secret from him. During her pregnancy, she suffers nausea especially＜br /＞ near the lily pond. Eventually, exploration of the lily pond reveals human bones proven to be those of the missing housekeeper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After months of extraordinary behaviour, Claude overdoses on sleeping pills, almost ending his life. He admits to murdering the housekeeper and he is sent to prison, where pressure sets in and he hangs himself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the Bramble family start to move on from the incident, Lillian gives birth. Soon after,＜br /＞ Winston is killed in a plane crash on a business trip.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lillian and Winston's daughter Louise inherit the Bramble Estate.Devastated from their loss, Lillian and the children, plan to go to the Island home, 'Butterfly Chimes' in St Maartins.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She's surprised when their dear friend from Suffolk, who had been a close family friend for the last 18 months and whose wife died suddenly 9 months before Winston, arrives on her private plane, and proposes to her on the plane. Lillian hesitates, knowing her heart belongs to Winston; and that her dream of spending her life with Winston is shattered.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She politely declines the proposal, assuring her supportive friend that no isn't forever but at this moment in her life, the answer must be no. However, her dream of a family is still alive, with her dearly loved children, and that is＜br /＞ what's important for Lillian to maintain. And for her future; miracles can happen.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Transformation Discover Your Own Flight Pattern【電子書籍】[ Shannon M. Tobin ]

＜p＞As someone who has discovered her own flight pattern, I want to share this experience with others. I have chosen to donate the profits from my book - Transformation - to support funding for the Dare To Be You Foundation, which will support two main causes near and dear to my heart: 1- To provide scholarships to underprivileged teenage boys and girls to attend workshops on how to discover their own flight patterns. I'm passionate about building a strong foundation for our youth and to help young people discover their strengths, their skills, their talents and what makes them happy. Often young people are left adrift in modern society with no real guidance to discover their own talents and skills. They sometimes have no outlet to learn about themselves or their passion. 2- To put my book in the hands of every woman who enters a shelter (for abused women) in North America. I believe that if a woman discovers her own self-worth and understands that if someone hurts her, abandons her or betrays her, it says nothing about her worth and everything about the other person's character. Thank you for supporting a dream by contributing to make this vision and dream a reality. Together we can make this foundation a success and help others discover their own flight patterns!

He was a copious contributor of articles and stories to the Boys Own Paper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stables has been regarded as one of the most prominent of the English imitators of Jules Verne, especially in his novels of polar adventure, like The Cruise of the Snowbird (1882), Wild Adventures Round the Pole (1883), From Pole to Pole (1886), and his most ambitious novel, The Cruise of the Crystal Boat (1891).＜/p＞ ＜p＞He is also notable as the first person to order a gentleman's caravan from the Bristol Carriage Company, in which he travelled the length of Great Britain in 1885 (the subject of his book The Gentleman Gypsy).＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a high quality book of the original classic edition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside:＜/p＞ ＜p＞McBain waited for a few minutes in the castle courtyard until Allan, who had hurried away, should have time to communicate with his mother and sister; then he struck a gong, and while yet its thunders were reverberating among the hills, he was surrounded by every servant in the place, old Janet, the cook, not excepted; then the orders that fell calmly and yet quickly from his lips showed at once that he was master of the situation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...The little party who left the Castle of Arrandoon to go in search of Ralph and Rory did well to have Peter and his bagpipes included in their number, for, so long as they were within hearing distance of the castle, the music would give hope to those left behind; and when beyond that, it would not only serve to while away the time of the searchers, but even in the darkness it might perchance be heard by the sought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...Old Janet averred that she had never seen such a boy in all her born days-that he turned the castle upside down, and kept all the "beasties" in an uproar; but at the same time she added that he was the prettiest boy ever she'd seen, and "Heaven bless his bonnie face," which put her in mind of her dear dead boy Donald, and she couldn't be angry with him, for even when he was doing mischief he made her laugh.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...Nearly all of these were on visiting terms with the McGregors, and many a beautifully-fitted sledge used to drive over the drawbridge of Arrandoon Castle during the winter months-wheels, of course, were out of the question when the snow lay thick on the ground-so that life in Allan's family, although it did not partake of the gaiety of the London season, was by no means a dull one, and both Ralph and Rory thought the evenings spent in the drawing-room were very enjoyable indeed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞..."Well," said McBain, after there had been a lull in the conversation for some little time, "we've been all so happy and jolly here for the last few days, that we haven't had time to think much or to look ahead either; but now, if you don't mind, young gentlemen, I will tell you what I should propose in the way of spending a few of the incoming spring and summer months, in what I should call a very pleasant fashion."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This is a high quality book of the original classic edition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Liddon, otherwise a comparatively uncultured person, was an accomplished cook and domestic administrator; Jenny, the eldest daughter, in whom the qualities of both parents blended, got up early in the morning to buy provisions at the market, and did all the dressmaking for the family; Joe, a junior in his fathers office, paid something for his board, and otherwise kept and clothed himself; and Sarah, the youngest, who had a bent spine, was literary, like her father, in whose intellectual pursuits she had had the largest share, and morally indispensable, though not practically supporting, in the economy of the household.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...It would have been nice, after a days work?she looked persuadingly at Sarah?to have had tea in our own back parlour, all alone by ourselves, free and comfortable; and in the evening to have totted up our takings for the day?all cash, of course?and seen them getting steadily bigger and bigger; and by-and-by?because I know that, with a good start, I should have succeeded?to have become well enough off to sell out, and go to travel in Europe, and do things.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...Joey thought of an elegant little cousin up country, the daughter of a bank manager, who naturally turned up her nose at retail trade; and he said that, as the present head of the family?he was afraid Jenny was over-looking the fact that he held this position by divine right of sex?he should certainly withhold his sanction from any such absurd project, risk or no risk.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...And dont forget that you are only nineteen, while I am twenty-four, and mother is just twice as old as that; and that what little we have is hers; and that women in these days are as good as men, and much better than boys; and that you are expected to allow us to know what is best for a few years more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞...It was taken with the idea of a girl who would not receive money, and dared to risk her little conventional title to be a lady for the sake of making an honest living; his own business rectitude and high-mindedness qualified him to appreciate a woman of that sort?so different from the swarm of idle damsels with whom he was in daily contact, who lived for nothing but their own pleasures, and on anybody who would keep them, with no sense whatever of any responsibility in life, whose frivolities he was always denouncing, more or less, in a good-natured way, though his own dear wife was one of them.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
