Characters dwelling on the past for better or worse .An action is taken. It may be as the result of balanced thought or on a mere whim or impulse. But once taken many of these actions cannot be disregarded or ignored. They have set in motion effects and consequences. Some may be harmless or just minor irritations, but others can have long-lasting consequences that bring regret and the thought of what might have been. In this volume our classic authors Sherwood Anderson, Katherine Mansfield, D H Lawrence and many others bring narratives that bring regret and its’ aftermath in many shades and hues. 1 - Short Stories About Regret - An Introduction2 - Regret by Guy de Maupassant3 - About Love by Anton Chekhov4 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald5 - A Modern Lover - Part 1 by D H Lawrence6 - A Modern Lover - Part 2 by D H Lawrence7 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson8 - The Second Generation by Algernon Blackwood9 - The Lady's Maid by Katherine Mansfield10 - The Omnibus by Arthur Quiller-Couch11 - A Painful Case by James Joyce12 - The Grave by Guy de Maupassant
