Excerpt from Brother Jonathan, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the New EnglandersHe was a regular visiter at Mr. Harwood's (the presbyterian preacher); took his pud ding there, three times a week; and supper, al most every night. The whole family were afraid of him; that is, they stood in awe of him; felt uncomfortable, if he looked into their eyes; and started, if he spoke to them abruptly; and yet, no one of them; or, at any rate, not more than one, would have: been willing to see him go away, for ever. They had come to look upon him, in truth, as one of their number; and most of them, in spite of his cold, positive, se vere temper, to feel toward him, as if he had a right, beyond that of a stranger a way-faring man to their table and fire side.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
