Excerpt from Gentleman Jim There's some things that ought to be wrote down, I mean written down. Now let me see; it is nigh upon twenty years ago that a young fellow worked in these here mines, and handled his tools so ill that he got the name of Clumsy Joe. If anybody met with an accident going down the shaft, it was always him: if anybody got blowed up and singed, he always did. His face, it was never handsome, but the red scars of his burns made it ugly; and his hands, rough enough before, had got unshapely and inconvenient to use. But ugly as he was, and clumsy as he was.
