Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Larkin of Cotton Run Mr. Peter Bannister, neighborhood business-minder and harmless old gossip, sat on a shoe box in the back end of the village store, chewing tobacco with an ease and grace born of half a century's indulgence in the habit. He spat, too, with unerring precision, into the dead ashes that appeared on the damperless hearth of the rusty box stove, gazing the while with interest at the precise spot where each succeeding ejectment found a place, rolling his eyes toward the door whenever it opened to admit a newcomer, - for it was "mail night, " and there was sure to be a good "flooring on" at the store this mild October evening. Mr. Bannister was in a reminiscent mood. He had a habit of indulging in retrospect, especially on those particular occasions when he arrived early and had been obliged, by force of circumstances, to actually keep his tongue still for a time, for lack of an audience.
