Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ike Partington: Or, the Adventures of a Human Boy and His Friends "Dining once with a friend, whose family consisted of only himself and three boy, conversation with my host was interrupted by a violent outbreak among the latter; and, as we turned, a plate of squash was hurled by one at his opposite neighbour, which took perfect cast of his countenance. My host, turning to me, simply said, ´Lively boys--lively boys, doctor!´ and resumed the remark he had been making. Du. Treat´s Diary and Table-Talk. In judging the boy, liveliness should not be mistaken for wickedness, if anybody can top long enough to discriminate; but a plate of ying squash, for the moment, might well -wakea doubt, except in the mind of the one who understood the parties. T1- stories herein told must be judged in this way. They illustrate the general conduct of the "Human Boy," as Mr. Chadband calls him; and the term Lively Boys will better distinguish conduct that may be mischievous without being malicious. Ike, as the representative Boy, has long demonstrated this idea. The Boy must not be judged by the standard of Childhood or Manhood.
