Excerpt from The Brown Mouse

A brief hello betrayed Old acquaintance, and that social equality which still persists in theory between the work people on the American farm and the family of the employer. A desul tory murmur of voices ensued. Jim Irwin sat down on the bench - not too close, be it Ob served, to the piqué skirt. There came into the voices a note of deeper earnestness, betokening something quite aside from the rip pling of the course Of true love running smoothly. In the man's voice was a tone of protest and pleading.

Excerpt from The Brown Mouse

A Farm-Hand nodded in answer to a question asked him by Napoleon on the morning of Waterloo. The nod was false, or the emperor misunderstood - and Waterloo was lost. On the nod of a farm-hand rested the fate of Europe.

This story may not be so important as the battle of Waterloo - and it may be. I think that Napoleon was sure to lose to Wellington sooner or later, and therefore the words "fate of Europe" in the last paragraph should be understood as modified by "for a while." But this story may change the world permanently. We will not discuss that, if you please.
