Excerpt from Hagar's HoardIt's been right hot, I said to him, for it certainly had been a wicked, Old hot day.But my Uncle paid no more attention to me than to the horse. He just turned and lifted out the little satchel of small change from the negroes' rent, and when he had got it: This town is ruined, he said, in a tiresome voice, half like he was speaking to himself, and walked on toward the house. And I stood there looking after him.He had been getting worse all summer - down and depressed one day, sharp and ugly the next one cross as an old dog on a chain. But I had never seen him just like that before.Some more money trouble, I said to myself, or something about the rents.So then I unharnessed the Old horse, and spanked her into her stall - slapdash, like a boy does things, for in spite Of what I thought about myself, I wasn't much more. And my uncle moving so slowly, I wasn't very much be hind him into the side hall. He stepped up stairs to leave his bag of change in the great Purple Room where he slept, and to wash himself, and pretty soon I heard the key turn when he locked up the Purple Room again as he came down to supper.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
