Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Lounger: Or Tales, Sketches, and Legends, Gathered in Sundry Journeyings I am a bachelor, dear reader! This I deem necessary to premise, lest, peradventure, regarding me as one of that class whose fate is sealed, - "As if the genius of their stars had writ it," you should deem me traitor to my sworn alliance. For what has a Benedict to do with things out of the window, when his gentle wife - (what sweet phraseology this last! How prettily it looks printed!) his "gentle wife" with her quiet eye, her sewing and rocking chair on one side, and his duplicates or triplicates, in the shape of a round chunk of a baby, fat as a butter-ball; two or three roguish urchins with tops and wooden horses, and a fawn-like, pretty daughter of some nine years, with her tresses adovn her neck, and a volume of Miss Edgworth´s "Harry and Lucy" in her hand, which she is reading by the fading twilight - demand and invite his attention on the other. No, my dear reader, I am not married! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
