Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wayside Notes of Little Pitchers Gathered Among New Hampshire Hills
How I Got Separated from Mine and the nerve-racking Strain That Followed.
I am only a light brown leather Grip - you may call me Grip for short. Do not think, however, to pass me by without further parley. I have a tale to tell. That short, stout, pussy individual that escorts me around needn't think he's so large. He couldn't do a thing without me, and he knows it now. He didn't, though, till the other day when he and I parted company at the railroad junction. You see it was this way. The gentleman who considers him self my boss went and crammed a number of pass books, with a lot of names and dates in them, into my capacious in sides, also a number of magazines and other papers and blank receipts and five or six apples, which latter he meant later to transfer to his own interior - but there's many a slip, you know. Well we got over to Epping Junction - I think the conductor said - and Mr. Man got out, and taking me by the handle trudged down the platform to the little cooped-up waiting room, which was rather more cooped up than usual from the fact that a lot of carpenters were cut ting out sections of each wing of the station and shoving the remaining portions up together, and the wheezy Old coal stove in the center of the room was doing its best to drive Jack Frost out through a thousand crevices in the tem porary walls.
