Excerpt from The Big Fellow
Let Miss Destiny carry the ¿ag Wherever she Will, or claim whatever manner of servants she Will, she may scarcely exceed the wonder of her experiment with the abc's on the other side of the Pacific. A new kind of gift was borne by one people to another, a new thing was brought into being in an old world. Already those who were in the Islands at the outset of this enterprise see its scenes, still fresh in mind, as a page of romantic history that can never be repeated.
If anyone thinks that he can name the Village from which the Big Fellow of my novel came and the city in which he began his career, I shall only say that they are somewhere be tween the Alleghenies and the Mississippi, and if anyone thinks that he recognizes the original of Bar, I shall only say that it is one of the archipelago to the east of Borneo and the south of China.
Did such things as you describe really occur out there? Demanded a reader of the manuscript.
