Excerpt from The Focus, Vol. 9: March, 1919Thrown on his own resources for entertainment, Kenneth dug his hand deep into his trouser pocket and drew out a handful of corn. He fingered it speculatively for a moment. Directly in front of him sat Marjorie Norman. Kenneth held rather an 'ex alted opinion of Marjorie. Of course she screamed when she saw a worm and indulged in many other feminine weaknesses that he held-in contempt, but somehow these things did not seem altogether as silly in Marjorie as they did in other girls. She had such a sweet, appealing manner that Kenneth was always glad when he had the opportunity to protect her from any dreadful bugaboos - and incidentally to show off his own bravery.Acting on' a generous impulse Kenneth divided his corn in two parts and leaning over his desk he laid half in a little heap on Marjorie's desk. Marjorie glanced at him through her curls and smiled shyly, but not in the least comprehensively. Pocketing his own corn Kenneth settled back in his seat and buried himself in his history book.A minute later something whizzed within an inch of Miss Allen's head, hit the blackboard and rebounded on her desk. It was a grain of corn.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
