Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wild Eelin: Her Escapades, Adventures,& Bitter Sorrows
Oh, kennel up, you silly fool! She called down to him, in accents of equal anger and scorn. You silly idiot, why don't you let other people Sleep, if you can't sleep yourself! GO and smother your head in a haystack 1 He did not pay any attention to her taunts but'at this very moment her ladyship's pet spaniel, excited by the noise and confusion came rushing and barking along the hall. Whether it did really mean to tear the podgy young man's clothing it is impossible to say but at all events he seemed to think so; for directly it reached the doorstep he struck at it viciously with his whip, and the next sec ond it was howling and yelping through the hall again.
You dreadful brute 1 said the young woman with the patch-work face, and her eyes were glittering with rage.
She vanished for an instant, and immediately reappeared; and now she held in both hands a large ewer, which she heaved bodily out. It missed the young man by just an inch or two, falling on the ?agstone with a terrific crash, and Splintering into a thousand fragments. He noticed the smash, of course, but otherwise he did not seem to comprehend what had occurred. This poor, stupid, be sotted oaf standing there did not know that he had been within an ace of discovering the Great Secret - the secret that has absorbed the longings and aspirations Of the wisest Of the earth since ever the human race began to think and wonder.
