Excerpt from The Coconut PlanterSo I sit and smile at the sea. I smile at the sea because I don't know anyone else yet to smile at. We have only been out of Sydney an hour or two, so naturally I haven't so far become acquainted with any one on board. I wonder if there are any nice people among them. You can never tell from the first glance at a crowd of passengers, can you? They look such a motley mob and not a bit individual; they all seem alike - just passengers. It's only after you've seen them for a day or two they seem to get sorted out into persons.The Heads have quite disappeared now. Good-bye, old Sydney. I wonder when I'll see you again. We left at midday, and all the way down out through the Harbour I leaned up against the rail in the sunshine, just devouring the last glimpses of Neutral Bay. That's where I used to live. I used to hate it too, and long to get away, and I'm jumping with joy to be setting out to see the world. Yet I had to wink my eyes quite hard once or twice as I saw it fade into the distance. How sentimental But just now and again, you know, I feel the teeniest bit lonely. Now, then, Sunny Shale when you're out on a big, big spree to see life. Do observe the capitals!Which being translated means I'm going up to Papua to start a coconut plantation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Peter PiperPeter piper, you are seventeen and three-quarter years old. You're not a kid any more, and your old diary is full, and you've got a talkative mood on, so, while you're starting on a new blank book, you might just as well give an account of yourself. I suppose anyone else would think it funny to write everything that happens down as I do, but I guess if they hadn't got anyone to talk to from one year's end to the other, except father and Dick, they'd just long to have a real old yarn with someone now and again. Ever since I was fifteen I've done it. I don't really keep a proper diary; I scarcely ever date things, and sometimes I don't put anything down for a couple of months if things are too dull and uninteresting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
