Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wild Oats, Sown Abroad: Or, on and Off Soundings; Being Peabes From a Private Journal My grandmother once said, after the rather dexterous removal of a lump of sugar, by means of a string, from the sugar bowl, "That Boy is a genius!" I did not much notice the remark at the time, for I was too intent upon the sugar - but some years after the Principal of a somewhat famous Boarding school quietly observed of the same Boy, "There´s something in that fellow!" whereupon I attempted to get it out in the shape of a Pasquinade on the said Principal´s florid Physiognomy - which attempt forthwith resulted in a flogging. From that time I left whatever was in me stay there until I was forced to write these leaves from a necessity of my nature, and I am downright certain they deserve just as severe a flogging as the aforesaid Pasquinade called forth.
