Excerpt from Sealed OrdersThe most I remember of our folks is what dreadful sav ing folks they were. And when Connecticut folks set out to save, it's a -savin' sight, I tell you, Tom. Sometimes I had a wonder how they ever could have done it if it had n't been for me. If father wanted to save seventy-five cents on a man's hire he put me at it, mowing, berrying, weeding, tending caows. I drove a plow before I was up to that little lad of Peterson's shoulders, that he brought down here last Christmas, maybe you remember. A likely lit tle lad. I was glad to know Peterson schooled him a little. I was glad to see him on a Christmas time. But when I patted his head he shied off. Children don't take to me. Maybe I don't understand their ways. I lived so different when I was a little child. I don't see a little chap brought up just as I was very often.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
