Excerpt from Out of the Woods: A Romance of Camp LifeWhen Ferris had decided that he could not delay his departure until Vinton came, he busied himself with packing, and then began collecting such things as he thought Vinton might need for his outing. While thus occupied there was a knock at his door.Come in, Tom; he called from his store room, recognizing the familiar rap, and as Tom Moulton opened the door he added You are the very man I wanted to see.Tom Moulton, as he was familiarly known to all club-men, was a handsome fellow, six feet tall, with a frankness of voice and manner and an endless fund of good fellowship that made him the most popular man of his set.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
