Book Description

Excerpt from Frank Nelson, or the Runaway Boy All this while Mary had been weaving in and out of the eyelet-holes the desired shoec string, and Frank was listening to her words with what grace he could muster. But he did not look very penitent, and finally as she put the string through the last eyelet and took hold of both ends in order to tie the shoe closely, still talking to him about his um gracious words and tones, he whistled impa tiently, and then spoke again: But what must a fellow do, my chicken hearted sister? I can't whisper when I'm aching to scream, and I can't stop to weigh and select my words whenl'm in a hurry to let somebody know my mind, before you can say J ack Robinson.
