Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glow-Worm Tales: Second Series It is a terrible task; but it must be obeyed. On the one hand there is Midas with half a million, whom none of the other gentlemen, as the waiter knows, ever venture to disturb; on the other there is Simpkins, with his back to the fire and his double eye-glasses over his nose, determined to see it done. I would not be that waiter for all his perquisites, though I am told they come to a pretty penny. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
