These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Sawn Off - A Tale of a Family Tree: Look inside the book: I never thought of that," said the Doctor, passing his arm round his child, and walking with her slowly up the lawn, passing Thomas, who, as soon as the encounter was over, slipped back from where he had been watching it, and was now extracting weeds at a furious rate, chuckling to himself, and with his opinion of his master wonderfully heightened, while he thought of how he would tell them at the "Half-Moon" at night about the way in which the Doctor had taken his lordship down. ...The occupants of the two houses in the street complained, and left; but Crowder let the houses at a higher rent without the gardens-let the little tenements each at ten shillings a week, and turned out those who did not pay; and for the rest of his life collected his own dues, did his own painting and whitewashing-even plastered upon occasion; and at last, while repairing a chimney-stack and putting on a new pot, at the age of seventy-five, like a thrifty soul as he was, he slipped from the ladder, rolled off the roof of Number 10, fell into the open paved space, with his head in the centre gutter, where the soapsuds ran down, and his heels on a scraper-every house had a scraper, to make it complete-and was so much injured that Nature gave him notice to quit his earthly habitation, evicted him, and, save in name, the buildings knew him no more. ..."Well, it do seem hard, mother, certainly; but it was sure to come out some day, and it's best for one's own brother to know of it-better than anybody else, because he'll do what's right and best for every one-you and Jessie too, of course; for if I get worse (as I may, you know) it would be sad, of course, for it all to go to ruin for want of a master-mind, and no one left to take care of you-and-you come to ruin, and not even your poor husband to make boots and shoes for you again." About George Manville Fenn, the Author: George Manville Fenn (January 3, 1831, Pimlico - August 26, 1909, Isleworth) was an English novelist, journalist, editor and educationalist. ...He later became a printer, editor and publisher of short-lived periodicals, before attracting the attention of Charles Dickens and others with a sketch for All the Year Round in 1864.
