Excerpt from The Tamarack: Fall Number 1913Fannie still had some of his last allowance, but by no means enough to pay the demanded sum. And so he would have sat down and listlessly awaited a blessing (21) from the pater had he not suddenly been afflicted with an inspiration. Af¿icted is the right word. For it was an affliction, although h did not know it as such at that time. And he had planned with devilish cunning.The night. Regardless of usual settings for such deeds, was clear. And the white moonlight touched all objects with its magic lustre and left only softened shadows where in daytime harsh lines showed. From the dormitory, where he should have been anything but awake, came the form of Fannie Stevens, hurrying for the friendly shadow cast by the little club-house at the corner of the athletic field.

He was just about to fit a key into the lock with trembling fingers when something ghostly and light of weight dropped on his back.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
