Excerpt from Young Joe and Other Boys
One day, a good many years ago, Young Joe Scoville, of Bass Cove, went up to town to sell some wild ducks lie had shot.
Old Joe (that was his father) had said to him, early in the season, "When I see you come a-luggin' home a couple o'dozen ducks to oncet, then. 11 let you go and try your hand sellin' on 'em;" and Young Joe, having bagged that morning his two dozen and upward, had now for the first time in his life come alone to market.
And very proud was Young Joe, I assure you. He drove smartly into the Square, and cried, "Whoa!" and "Here's yer nice fine ducks, gentlemen! walk up, gentlemen!" and nodded respectfully to customers, and felt and acted very much like Old Joe, his father.
