Excerpt from At the Grass Roots: Comprising "the Christmas of 1883," and Other Vagrant Sketches

It always seemed to me that the humble folk I knew in boyhood were as interesting as those of more pretentious circumstance with whom my lot has fallen in later years. I think they gathered from their simple diversions a keener sense of enjoyment than do those who set themselves above them. I know their expression of emotion was more natural, their lives less repressed and less hedged in by arti ficial limitations. And so I have placed a few of them in brief review upon the printed page. Here is the hope that they may hold for you the same de gree of interest they have held for me.
