Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Zachary Phips Master Tileston sat making pens at his desk, that famous piece of furniture in whose capacious maw, according to boyish tradition, lay hidden the richest store ever known of tops, marbles, jackknives, and other toys, collected during a long and memorable career. The crowning event of the school year was close at hand, for Selectmen´s Day was more properly an event than a mere arbitrary division of time. It was, moreover, although in no strict sense a crisis, distinctively an ordeal, inasmuch as the results of the year´s work were then to appear. Naturally enough, therefore, despite his mask of composure, Master Tileston showed, by the occasional twitching of an eyelid and the tapping of his silver-buckled shoe upon the floor, signs of inward disturbance. Let it not be thought from this that the good man lacked confidence in himself. On the contrary, it may be doubted if anybody ever had a juster estimate of his own powers. His present agitation was due simply to the approach of an unusual event in a life of absolute routine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
