Excerpt from Old Leaves, Gathered From Household WordsIn a few minutes, and without any preparation, a great stir began at one end Of this hall, and a long train of private per formers, in the highest state of excitement, poured in, getting up, on an immense scale, the first scene in the Miller and his Men. Each had a sack on his back; each bent under its weight; and the bare sight of these sacks, as if by magic, changed all the readers, all the talkers, all the wanderers, all the liers-down, all the coffee-drinkers, into a colony of human ants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
