Araminta and the Automobile
Copyright, 1903, By Henry Holt & Co. Copyright, 1907, By Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.

While the Automobile Ran Down, Copyright, 1900, By The Century Co. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, U. S. A. A generation or two ago, there was a poor writer (I mean poor in this worlds goods, of course) and he saw people riding about in automobiles as if they owned them, and it made him wish he could ride about in one as if he owned it.

After a while he made believe that he had bought an automobile, and he rode around in it with Araminta, and enjoyed the motion so much that he set others to riding in automobiles that he made himself in his study, and he was much pleased at the way they went. After a while he made a collection of these stories and they went some more, and now they are off for a cross country trip that will undoubtedly result in the critics saying of the writer, He has the pen of a Charles Dickens; or he reminds one of Robert Louis Stevenson at his best; or he succeeds, as no man since Sir Walter Scott has succeeded, in writing automobile stories that cause the helpless and fascinated reader to sit up all night regardless of anything save the flight of the machine; or perhaps they will say the mantle of Bret Harte has fallen upon him, and with the possible exception of Nathaniel Hawthorne no one has written such tales of the clutch and brake and sparker. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
