Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of Domestic Life "Please, sir, give me a cent to buy my mother some bread," said a little girl, not over seven years of age, looking wistfully up into the face of a man who stood talking with a friend in the street. The request of the child was, at first, unheeded. But a repetition of her appeal, made in an earnest, but peculiarly sweet, childish voice, caused him to look down at the supplicant. The moment he saw her countenance, he took from his pocket, a small silver coin, and placed it in her hand. Her fingers closed quickly upon it - "Thank you, sir!" she said, in the same sweet voice, and then turning away, ran off at full speed. "Do you treat every little urchin who comes to you with a falsehood on her tongue, after that fashion?" asked the friend. "If you go, I have no doubt of your sixpences having a free circulation." "O no," was replied. "I don´t treat all just that way. But I heard something about this child, yesterday, that has given me an interest in her." "Then you believe her story about wanting a cent to buy her mother a loaf of bread." "No - yes." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
