Excerpt from Gardening and Farming This little group of boys had formed itself natu rally into a club. It met with The Chief every Saturday night. He was really no chief, this big, boy-loving man who had come to spend a while in this little country village, to rest and to write. The boys had named him The Chief because, as Albert said, He could lead any tribe and tame any savage. At this Albert always laughed for he himself had been called a savage. So many times he almost believed he was one. The boys dropped into their places. Jay, or the Little Chief as the boys called him, sat opposite the Big Chief at the end of the table and right in front of the fire. He was slim and tall and light of foot. He could run faster, throw farther, and play better than any other boy in the village. He always led, he never bullied, he played fair, so the other boys always followed. Albert, Jay's brother, big and heavy and as full of mischief as he could hold, took his place at The Chief's right hand. Albert called this his place of honour although knowing full well that he was there so The Chief might have him within reach. Next to Albert came George, frank-faced and bash ful, sturdy and loyal. Opposite him red-headed, stubby Peter sat always on the edge of his chair. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
