Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 20: An Illustrated Magazine; For Young Folks; May, 1893, to October, 1893 One sunny morning early in March, two children, a boy and a girl, followed by a large shaggy dog, slowly sauntered up Rue Royale in the French quarter of New Orleans. The boy was about nine years old, the girl not more than eight, the dog - no one could tell his age with any degree of certainty, but he was no longer young, for the gray hairs about his muzzle, and his long, hollow flanks, plainly showed that he had seen many and evil days. He was of the breed commonly called "wolf," his body was covered with coarse, bristling hair, and his long nose and pointed, alert ears gave him an intelligent and inquisitive look in spite of his drooping tail and spiritless walk. Without looking to the right or left he followed closely on the heels of the children, occasionally sniffing at a bag which hung over the boy´s shoulder. When they slackened their pace to glance into a shop window, or to make room for a passer, the dog also stopped and eyed the bag wistfully, a few drops of water now and then falling from his mouth on the pavement. The boy, from time to time, glanced down at the patient creature smilingly, while he reached out a thin brown hand to pat his head fondly. "´Homo´ smells my lunch. It´s no use, I must stop and give him some," he said at last, placing on a door-step near him a tray of flowers which he had been carefully carrying. He was handsome boy, lithe and slim, and tall for his age, with large blue eyes of a merry cast, straight, clear-cut features, and curling brown hair. He was cleanly but poorly clad in a blue shirt and short trousers of the same color; a small white cap covered a portion of his thick hair which lay in heavy rings over his forehead, just above his straight, dark eyebrows. The little girl who accompanied him was an uncommon and picturesque figure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
