Excerpt from Doodles: The Sunshine BoyFragments of the auctioneer's entreaties floated through the open doorway of the bird shop and, above the rattle and roar of the street, clacked in Blue's ears."Ladies and gentlemens . . . beautiful lark . . . emperor of singers . . . not swell to look at, but . . . Only twenty cents! - Twenty-two am I offered? . . . shame, ladies and gentlemens!" And so on, in tones of pleading and mild complaint.Blue, meanwhile, studied the placarded window, where all manner of feathered stock, "slightly damaged, but every bird a bargain," was announced to be sold to the highest bidder."Lovely starling . . . ladies and gentlemens, . . . how much?" the persuasive voice skipped on, but was rudely interrupted by another.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
