We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
starved years when one night she discovers the villain who wronged her on the make for her daughter and she shoots him. But she won't tell why at the trial until they send the girl from the courtroom. Shades of Madam X.

Father wants daughter or son to be a lady or gent but not around the race track where he made his millions.
A Chinese girl is brought to New England as a bride of an American shipper. Later she commits suicide that the English girl her husband really loves might have him.
A boy sees his father killed by the Doone tribe, or was it the Hatfields and Tollivers feuding? Anyway, he grows up thirsting for revenge and falls in love with the daughter of his enemy whom he takes with him to his own home but her people swipe her back again. Then he learns she is not a Doone at all but was adopted, so it's hunky-dory for romance, that is, after he kills off most of the Doones.
The turning worm is another variation of the war between inferiority and superiority or the class conflict: The timid clerk who in order to qualify the heroine's love is told to ask the boss for a raise. Getting up enough steam and gumption to brave the inner sanctum is no easy task but when he gets started he follows through with criticisms of the management that not only get the raise but the girl and a swell wedding. With so many super-men clerking and wrapping packages the foregoing story has a tremendous appeal.
The story of the beautiful working girl who marries out of her class and into a family that has already picked a mate for her husband : The relentless persecution behind the husband's back. The turning point in endurance, the wife accepting consolation from a sympathetic friend; an innocent friendship distorted by in-laws to poison the husband's mind. The divorce, the truth revealed in the nick o' time and the reunion. There are many variations of that family persecution and innocent friendship formula but in the main the movies hew pretty close to those lines.
