Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Yankee Lad´s Pluck: How Bert Larkin Saved His Father´s Ranch in the Island of Porto Rico It was Saturday, May 15th, 1897. At Thompson´s store, the largest grocery in Montvilie, every one, from the proprietor himself to Bert Larkin, the delivery clerk, was as busy as he could be. The latter, a bright and active lad of about sixteen years, had just packed the last basket of groceries upon the delivery wagon, and was preparing to mount the seat, when his employer called out: "All ready for the south route, Bert?" "Yes, sir," the clerk answered respectfully, and waited for Mr. Thompson´s next word. "Well, hurry it up as fast as you can! Barker has gone over to Flanders with the other wagon, and you will have to make the north trip to-day." This was so common an occurrence the lad thought nothing of it. Thompson had a regular habit of crowding double work upon his men, so he only answered: "All right, sir; I´ll be back in two hours, or thereabouts," and then he jumped into the vehicle and drove rapidly away. Here and there through the streets in the southern part of the thriving town he went. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
