Excerpt from Masterpieces of American Wit and Humor, Vol. 6Don't try to be funny, Mrs. Bowser. The gas bill is a serious thing. If I can save any where from thirty to forty dollars per month by the outlay of a couple of dollars at the start. Common sense dictates my course. If I didn't save to offset your waste, we should soon be in the poorhouse. The gas bill for last month was something appalling.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Asylum is a gothic-style building, isolated in its grounds, where children with psychiatric problems have been admitted and held for treatment. The story is set beneath the Asylum, in a network of tunnels that lead to a chamber called the Depths. Children have been taken to the Depths for decades, if not centuries, where they have been experimented on for a sinister purpose. 16 year-old Finn enters the Asylum. He is intent on reaching the Depths, stopping the experiments done on children, and freeing them. Along the way, Finn meets a girl in the tunnels named Ruth, who helps him whenever he encounters danger. Together, they search for the Depths, in order to stop the psychotic experimenter named Leech, who is aided by his mute Shadows. Along the way, the reader wonders whether Finn is imagining everything he sees, or whether it is Leech tricking him; playing with his mind. There are many twists and turns along the way which keeps the reader guessing to the end.

Excerpt from Masterpieces of American Wit and Humor, Vol. 4Once out of his customary light-heart edness, asked himself, and his readers, and the ghost of Charles Dickens - all three powerless to answer - whether the dismal seriousness of the present day was going to last forever; or whether, when the great wave of earnestness had rippled over our heads, We would pluck up heart to be merry and, if needs be, foolish once again. Not that mirth and folly are in any degree synony mous, as of old; for the merry feel, too scarce, alas! Even in the times When Jacke of Dover hunted for him in the highways, has since then grown to be rarer than a phenix. He has carried his cap and bells and jests and laughter elsewhere, and has left us to the mercies of the serious fool, who is by no means so seductive a companion. If the Cocque cigrues are in possession of the land, and if they are tenants exceedingly hard to evict, it is be cause of the encouragement they receive from those to whom we innocently turn for help: from the poets, novelists and men of letters whose duty it is to brighten and make glad our days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
