    Excerpt from The Bodleys Telling StoriesIT was on a winter night, not long after New Year's Day, that the Bodley Family came back from a drive which they had taken. Martin, the coachman when he was driving, and man of all work when Mr. Bottom the weaving-horse was in his stall, had driven up to the front door, and out of the sleigh had jumped Mr. Bodley and Mrs. Bodley, Nathan, Philippa, and Lucy, and Cousin Ned Adams, who was Edward when his uncle was displeased with him, Adams when he was called up to recite at college, and occasionally when he wore a tall hat, Mr. Adams. It was only on his card and his let ters that he was Mr. Edward G. Adams. We have nothing to do with the G. And very little with the Adams. So he is simply Cousin Ned, on a Visit just now 'to his uncle's family during vacation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
