Excerpt from Sunshine and FrecklesMrs. Smith, meantime, hurried into the next room - the other room of a suite of two - where she found the entire Smith family whiling away, according to their several fashions, the time before the evening meal. Mrs. Smith cast a critical and severe eye upon her husband and children. Save for Master Tommy, aged eight, who was taking insolent' liberties with the family cat's unhappy tail, all were in good order. She pounced upon Tommy, stretched him across her knee as she seated herself on a chair, and applied her strong right hand violently to that aggrieved young gentleman's person till her hand swelled up, and Tommy let out a series of yells which could be heard throughout the building. Then, her hand unable to function further, she dropped Tommy to the ¿oor, and broke into bitter weeping.Tommy, surprised once more, shut his mouth and widened his eyes. The family equally astounded, gazed upon the weeping woman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
