EXCERPT: Four pairs of legs radiated from the cold stove in the center of the room the massive, imposing legs that supported the three hundred and sixty-odd pounds of William Little, land lord of' the Mansion House; the long, literary legs that terminated in Ezra Norton, editor of The Oxendale Townsman; the sophisticated, urban legs, enwrapped in startling chechs and capped with patent leather, which hustled,when called upon, for Lochinvar Leary, the' cigar drummer; and, finally, the legs inside the earth-encrusted hoots that had the honor of upholding Ehenezer Ahhott, Oxendale's sage and raconteur.
