Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Katrina: A Story
Prehend - those suave comments upon Life, or Destiny, or the city-editor's new cravat, or the growing baldness of the religious-man, ending suddenly in a very asthma of delight ere he lurched away again on those limber Springs of his, were irresistible, not always of themselves so much as of himself, though his printed jests in his little corner of the Herald called Cap and Bells, quite unassisted by his presence, would stand the test of their little day.
