Book Description

Excerpt from Cressy; A Treasure of the Redwoods: And Other Tales As the master of the Indian Spring school emerged from the pine woods into the little clearing before the school house, he stopped whistling, put his hat less jauntily on his head, threw away some wild owers he had gathered on his way, and otherwise assumed the severe demeanor of his profession and his mature age which was at least twenty. Not that he usually felt this an assumption 5 it was a firm conviction of his serious nature that be impressed others, as he did himself, with the blended austerity and ennui of deep and exhausted experience.
