Extractions: PORTER, WILLIAM SYDNEY In La Salle County, Jesse Leigh Hall, qv a retired Texas Ranger, managed the ranch holdings of the Dull brothers from Pennsylvania. Porter lived on this ranch for two years with Betty and Richard Moore Hall. qv Mrs. Hall was a well-educated woman and had a library that Porter used during these years. While he herded sheep for Dick Hall, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary was his constant companion. During his two years on the ranch, Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short stories. Lee Hall was Porter's prototype for the Texas Ranger who appears in many of the Texas stories. In 1884 the Halls moved to a new ranch in Williamson County, and Porter moved to Austin and lived as a house guest of the Joseph Harrell family for three years. During this time he worked at several jobs and was active in Austin social life. For a time he was a member of the Hill City Quartette. During this time the first recorded use of his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling "Oh, Henry" to the family cat.

When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his parental grandmother and paternal aunt.

When he was called back to Austin to stand trial, Porter fled to Honduras. Little is known about Porter's stay in Central America.

Extractions: Plaquetas de cultura O dramaturgo espanhol Lope de Vega, em A viúva valenciana, alertava que Qualquer livro discreto é um amigo que aconselha e repreende em segredo. A máxima poucas vezes se tornou tão verdadeira como nos livretos da Coleção Plaquetas da Oficina, lançada a partir de acervo da biblioteca da Oficina do Livro Rubens Borba de Moraes. Co-editados pela Oficina do Livro e pela Imprensa Oficial do Estado de São Paulo (Imesp), os 12 volumes da Coleção tem muito a ensinar, a alertar e a repreender em termos de falhas humanas, como a vaidade. Os livros, embora pequenos em número de páginas chamam a atenção para obras totalmente esquecidas ou autores muitas vezes lembrados por outros trabalhos. O primeiro recado da Coleção é dado justamente pelo mestre da crítica literária Antonio Candido, que, na revista Sociologia, em 1948, havia publicado O nobre contribuição para o seu estudo, texto em que discute justamente a idéia de nobreza. Mesmo considerada pelo autor apenas uma compilação que seria a introdução de mais três textos, apresenta uma interessante reflexão sobre os elos entre o nobre, o senhor feudal e o cavaleiro medieval, entre outros. A questão da nobreza é ainda brevemente analisada por Candido como um status, ou seja, como uma atitude perante o mundo circundante. Com a modernidade, porém, a nobreza foi perdendo o seu espaço, tornando-se hoje apenas uma abstração. Haveria, no entanto, entre certas famílias tradicionais paulistas um sentimento se não claramente enunciado, ao menos possível de ser lido nas entrelinhas de certas afirmações de saudade do seu passado nobre.
