Excerpt from The Makin' O' JoeWhen Mr. Vickers punched Jim Good enough that time, his fist connected jest where Jim's ribs joined his breast-bone, and Jim landed backwards, after sailin' across Ed Williams's floor and pass-in' through the plate-glass window in front, on the platform outside. He lighted so hard that several planks of the platform that wa'n't so new as they had been twenty years before broke under him and he stuck in the hole he'd made for himself, like a cork in a jug. Only I should judge that if the mouth of the jug was smooth the cork would have been more comfortable than Jim was, for the splinters in them broken planks as well as the pieces of glass he picked up on his way through the window was anything but smooth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
