Again, for three months, the hole served for a circulating library. A whole story found lodgement there, a chapter at a time, torn from a paper-covered novel. Flibbertigibbet carried them around with her pinned inside of her blue denim apron, and read them to Freckles whenever she was sure of not being caught. Luigi was their one boy on earth.
One or two of them are engraved in the little paper-covered booklets in which some of his essays were separately published booklets which he was used to present to people who came to see him and who were interested in all that he did. I remember some vivacious grotesques which he drew for one of my brothers when we were schoolboys. These little things were carefully treasured by boys who knew Dr.
"I shall collect fresh facts, in which I look to you for assistance, and, if we have finished breakfast, I may as well induct you into your new duties." He rose and rang the bell, and then, fetching from the office four small, paper-covered notebooks, laid them before me on the table. "One of these books," said he, "we will devote to data concerning Reuben Hornby.
The father railed and stormed, then relapsed into a manner of silent contempt; but he did not drive his son from the plain, comfortable home which he kept. Bart would not work, but he took some interest in reading. Paper-covered infidel books, and popular books on modern science, were his choice rather than fiction.
"Now there's that lady there" with a little courtly wave of her hand towards Mrs. Burton "she can't read yer know, Nurse, and I'm that sorry for her!

The constant, unceasing, steady downfall seemed to hypnotise him. Its descent was as silent as the footsteps of time itself.
Among the few books we had at home was an old paper-covered copy, with horrible wood-cuts, of a production entitled, "The Life and Adventures of John A. Murrell, the Great Western Land Pirate," by Virgil A. Stewart. It was full of accounts of cold-blooded, depraved murders, and other vicious, unlawful doings.
She did not ask Nyoda's advice this time; somehow she shrank from telling her about it. In three days the book arrived. The "comprehensive volume" was a paper-covered pamphlet containing exactly twenty-nine pages. It could not have sold for more than ten or fifteen cents in a book store.
Skepsey drew forth a paper-covered shilling-book: a translation from the French, under a yelling title of savage hate of Old England and cannibal glee at her doom. Mr. Barmby dropped his eyelashes on it, without comment; nor did he reply to Skepsey's forlorn remark: 'We let them think they could do it! Behold the downs. Breakfast is behind them. Miss Radnor likewise: if the poor child has a name.
"Right-ho! Good scheme! I've got to the top of this page." Aline took the paper-covered book. "'Seven guns covered him with deadly precision. Did you get as far as that?" "Yes; just beyond. It's a bit thick, don't you know!
