Excerpt from Simples From the Master's Garden Sometimes they say he's like the sun, he's so shinin' and warmin' and lighten' up and brightnin'. Some man said he was like a great big rose 0' some place or 'nother, makin' the whole country 'round sweet - smellin' and beautiful and bloomy, and - I tell ye there wa'n't nobody ever called so many splendid names as that man - I mean Person. But there's one name they give him I like best of all and that's the Master. I don't hardly know why I set so much by that name, only I kind 0' like to learn things, and to have somebody that's got the say tell me 'zackly what to do. I like to have lessons give me and copies set for me, and I don't scursely mind the punishin' for breakin' rules a mite, not if he does it. 'taint real punishin' ye know; it's only jest showin' you he notices and takes an int'rest and helps you to ree'lect you ain't goin' the way he showed you. So I call him the Master most times, and I'm going to call him that now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
