This story turns out to be sort of like a Hallmark Channel movie plot! I can totally see it in a modern version as one of their 10,000 Christmas movies...

But boy, howdy, Miz Mitford writes like she had a strict limit on the number of periods she could use! So many semi colons and colons, so many asides, quite a tongue twister to read aloud!

Hello

I am interested in reading "The Eyes Have It" by Philip K. Dick. It is listed on Project Gutenberg but it is stated that it was published in 1953. Am new to this so just wanted to check if this is still okay to read?

Thanks

C

Hi Lynne -

Here's a short story, in memory of Joaquim Schempf, who sang of Lorelei as we passed her cliff on the Rhine, 15 years ago -

https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/ss075_lorelei_ps_128kb.mp3

Name of your story: The Lorelei
Author (birth year - death year): Marie Harriette Frary (1883- ) and Charles Maurice Stebbins (1871-1937?)
Source from which you read: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/58185/58185-h/58185-h.htm#Page_26
Length in mm:ss: 5:12

Note that Frary's middle name is misspelled on the PG site. The B/D dates for both her and Stebbins are shaky, but I think they are right as far as they go.

I wonder if that's the Marie Harriette Kendall (nee Frary) who's listed on various genealogy sites, for example https://www.myheritage.com/names/marie_frary. If so, her dates seem to have been (1882-1964). It would seem likely, since both "Frary" and "Harriette" (spelled that way) are fairly uncommon.

I saw that genealogy link, but couldn’t make a clear connection other than the name. Several bibliographic sites list her birth year as 1883, though - all pretty sketchy.

I noticed that the census info at that link also lists her birth year as "circa 1883", and I've seen enough disputed birth years to believe that such a discrepancy isn't a major issue. In any event I find (1882-1964) a bit more believable than (1883- ). But she's your author.

I was travelling for a few days, and it looks like everyone has been busy! Thank you.

Maybe we should give allowance for age? 158 years old?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
Thank you for checking on the status of this work. If you are in the US, you are safe. Gutenberg is usually OK in the US, and they have lawyers to make sure of it (which we don't!). You can check on the front page of a Gutenberg work, where there is a tab entitled "Bibrec" and it will state Public Domain in the US. Sometimes -- especially for magazines and periodicals -- the copyright was never renewed, which is why there is the anomaly on dates.
