Excerpt from Roundhearts: And Other Stories Poor little Jerry! It was nothing new for'him to come breakfastless to school; and dinnerless, to watch the other children empty their well-filled kettles, hardly throw ing him a crumb. His lazy, drunken aunt was seldom out of bed when he started for school; and though he always went down into the cellar and tried to hunt up a crust of bread or a scrap of meat to appease the appetite that gnawed within, he very often had no better luck than, we are told, old Mother Hubbard had on that renowned visit of hers to the cupboard. Very bare was the cupboard generally in Chary Wilson's old tumble-down house. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
