Will N. Harben epub Mam Linda: A Novel (Classic Reprint)

Mam Linda [N the rear of the long store, at a round table under a hanging-lamp with a tin shade, four young men sat playing ypoker. The floor of that portion of the room was raised several feet higher than that of the front, and between the two short flights of steps was the inclining door leading to the cellar, which was damp and dark and used only for the storage of salt, syrup, sugar, hardware, and general rubbish. Near the front door the store-keeper, James Blackburn, a portly, bearded man of forty-five, sat chatting with Carson Dwight, a young lawyer of the town. I dont want any of you boys to think that Im complaining, the elder man was saying. Ive been young myself; in fact, as you know, I go the gaits too, considering that Im tied down by a family and have a living to make. I love to have the gang around I swear I do, though sometimes I declare it looks like this old shebang is more of a place of amusement than a business house in good standing.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
