Excerpt from Lauriel the Love Letters of an American Girl It will be a typical suburban meal. You are not such a stranger to me, Mr. Strong, as you may imagine. I have borne with resignation four years of Ethel's ravings about her wonderful brother. I have lived with his picture in my room. I have learned to detest him and it most heartily. If you can take the taste of that girl's saccharine adulation out of my mouth, it will be worth in itself a trip to the Oranges. Papa, as you may not know, is a very uncertain quantity. He lives in his laboratory all day, and most of the night. Nevertheless, as Ethel always wound him around her little finger, he heartily joins with me in the invitation which Aunt Niobe says is entirely informal. If you board the five-thirty train I will cast aside my pride and prejudice and meet you at the station. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
