Excerpt from The Jucklins: A Novel The neighbors and our family began to laugh at me about as far back as I can remember, and I think that the first serious remark my father ever addressed to me was, Bill, you are too lazy to amount to anything in this life, so I reckon we'll have to make a school teacher of you. I don't know why he should have called me lazy, I suppose it must have been on account of my awkwardness. Lazy, why, I could sit all day and fish in one place and not get a bite, while my more industrious companions would, out of sheer exhaustion of patience, be compelled to move about, and I hold that patience is the very perfection of industry.
