*My Favorites: The History of the Hardcomes, The First Countess of Wessex, An Imaginative Woman, and The Waiting Supper

* A Note About the Text: Some words may seem incorrect in grammar and spelling. But Mr. Hardy used colloquial language for many of his characters, so this is actually true to the original text. Also, punctuation may not be consistent throughout all the stories because they were obtained from different sources. Click here to see a source list.

If you find any errors that need to be corrected, please e-mail me and I will see to it.
