Excerpt from The Inner VoiceUT OF a dusky velvet depth of dreamless sleep the boy Jonathan Pickett slid luxuriously into consciousness of a fine morning. Beyond the win dow the first ¿ush of sunrise was creeping through the purple blossoms of the old chinaberry tree, and from the barns came the thin, tuneless song of Na omi, the Indian girl, as she went about her morning task of supervising the black girls at their milking. The sweet breath of a North Carolina spring was in the air and the great plantation was astir in its freshness.Jonathan ¿exed the muscles of his strong, thick set young body luxuriously. At thirteen his strength was already that of a man, and the power of it was an unconscious joy as he pulled himself to full wake fulness. Then, With a start, he recollected that this was no common day. This was, in fact, the first day of May, 1826, and the morning upon which he was, for the first time, to go with his father on the semi annual trading trip to the city of Charleston.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
