Excerpt from The Miser of King’’s Court “Into each life some rain must fail, Some days must be dark and dreary.” “I can’’t write any more, Olive. I’’m so tired of pot-hooks;” and Topo threw down his pencil and crossed his arms upon the table. “Very well, dear. You may put your books away now.” “Olive!” “Yes, dear.” “I want my tea. I am ever so hungry.” “We must wait for mother, Topo. She is late to-night. But we must not begin till she comes.” “I wish she’’d be quick then.” About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
