Excerpt from Brown's Retreat: And Other StoriesIt left lookers-ou no doubt of its character, as it boldly proclaimed itself Brown's Retreat on a deal board, painted in lamp - black by one whose right hand had lost its cunning, for the letters resembled Edg erly streets, being narrow and zigzag in the extreme. Nevertheless, they stared into the world over the small, dingy show-window, which revealed as a solid foundation, two quarts of dismal apples, surmounted by several rows of sticky pop - corn balls, a collection of combs and seed-cakes, a few paper dolls, a sprink ling of dead flies, clay-pipes, and shoe-strings.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
