Excerpt from The History of the Bottle: As Originally Published in the New York OrganFrom the house where his murdered sister lay, James went back, with a sad heart, to his lodging place. He had three shillings in his pocket, the balance that re mained of the small, sum of money given him by Agnes. After that was gone, he knew not from whence the means of living were to come. To none of the rough oc capante of the boarding house he had selected, did he mention the dreadful truth he had discovered, though some who noticed him more closely than the rest, saw that something painful was on his mind. He passed another unhappy and almost sleepless night, and appeared, on the next morning, evidently exceedingly disturbed in mind.What are you going to do with your self, my lad said one of the boarders to James, as he walked out into the street with him after breakfast.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
