Synopsis

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

In The Nick Adams Stories, Hemingway's style is sparse and minimalist. He doesn't waste words and his descriptions are often terse yet powerful. This is very different from the style in romance novels. Romance novels usually have a more elaborate writing style. They might use a lot of adjectives to create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. For instance, in Hemingway's stories, a description of a landscape might be brief but evocative, while in a romance novel, the same landscape could be described in great detail with a focus on how it makes the characters feel in the context of their love story.

Hemingway develops Nick through his actions. For example, in situations like hunting or fishing, Nick's skills and decisions show his character. His reactions to danger also play a role. If he faces a difficult situation in the wild, how he responds reveals his courage or caution.
