Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schoolmaster's Stories: For Boys and Girls Some years ago there was a party of forty or fifty boys who met at my house once a week, and to them I often told stories. They sat on the arms of my chair, hung themselves over the back of it, squatted by my feet on the floor, and leaned on one another's shoulders. I noticed that they were particularly eager for stories that had the smell of the frontier about them. I believe I have told in this book some of the very stories that used to amuse these good fellows, who got a great hold on my heart by listening to my stories and liking them. Dear boys! I thought of dedicating the book to them, but they are all gone. Not dead - I did not say that But in five or six years every rascal of them has shot up into something like a young man. Some of them are raising little patches of faint-looking beard on their upper lips, and some of them are nearly six feet high. Think of dedicating a story book to sophomores, and store-clerks, and such like! Its a way boys have. Just when you think you've got a boy, he turns to a man. Boys and tadpoles are uncertain things. There are some queer little improbable, unbelievable, half-fairy-story sort of things here, which I have often given in small doses to girls. They have generally taken them as kindly as they would have taken sugar-plums or pickles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from "The Schoolmaster" "FYODOR LUKITCH SYSOEV, the master of the factory school maintained at the expense of the firm of Kulikin, was getting ready for the annual dinner. Every year after the school examination the board of managers gave a dinner at which the inspector of elementary schools, all who had conducted the examinations, and all the managers and foremen of the factory were present. In spite of their official character, these dinners were always good and lively, and the guests sat a long time over them; forgetting distinctions of rank and recalling only their meritorious labours, they ate till they were full, drank amicably, chattered till they were all hoarse and parted late in the evening, deafening the whole factory settlement with their singing and the sound of their kisses. Of such dinners Sysoev had taken part in thirteen, as he had been that number of years master of the factory school. Now, getting ready for the fourteenth, he was trying to make himself look as festive and correct as possible."
