Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sand and Big Jack Small My Dear Old Friend: - I cannot, at this moment, recall the date of my latest letter to you, yet I distinctly remember that I did write to you at some period of time not strictly prehistoric; but whether it was that I penned my epistle in answer to something, or desiring that something should be answered, I know not, and, indeed, do not care; because, as I look upon it, the antiquity and proximity of our friendship is equal to a waiver of ceremony. If, lang syne, among the bowlders and paygrit of Squally Flat, I had not learned by heart that you were one of God´s own in every depth of good friendship, save the expressing of it, I should think you were turned cavalier, and prone to ride by your old friend on your successful money-getting hobby; but my head, which is rapidly taking on the gray thatch of declining life, tells me that yours is a nature no more to be spoiled by wealth than daunted by poverty. When I think of you I can not fail to recall poor old Rockyweller (you do not forget him?), or rather his pet speech when he was spreeing on Squally. You can not have forgotten how he used to come to his cabin door on the hill-side, in the early morning, and address the general camp in these words, shouted at the top of his voice: "Whoop la! God hates a coward, sir, and you can´t hurt a Christian. Never try to crawl when you´re broke, nor to fly when you´re flush, sir, and you may be happy yet, sir. Amen, sir!" After which Mohammedanized Christian salutation to the morn, he softly closed his cabin door behind him, and carefully walked down the trail to the saloon for his earliest libation. You always seem to me to be an embodiment of Rockyweller´s creed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
