Excerpt from A Human Note
In giving to the world this, my maiden effort, it is with many and varied feelings. I must con fess it has been my lifelong ambition to write a book, and now that my story has been completed I feel as nervous as a young girl over her first proposal. If my little plot serves to interest you, perchance to help you pass a pleasant hour, then, dear reader, my mission has been performed.
The writer has had many hints from his friends as to how a story should be written, but has declined any help, for he feels that, if any bright theme of a literary spirit lurks in his frame, it must be given to the world in a natural manner.
But hark! Our little play is about to com mence; and, in metaphor, let us list to the music, and up goes our curtain.
