A Romance of the Oil Region (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Spotter: A Romance of the Oil Region<br><br>"I don't see why you should have objections to leasing your farm, Mr. Cameron," said Mrs. Fisher, somewhat awkwardly raising her gold-rimmed eye glasses to the ridge of a red and pudgy nose, and gazing curiously at the man to whom she had spoken.<br><br>"Perhaps not, ma'am," replied Cameron. "I have heard that some people are able to see in a painting only flat streaks of color."<br><br>"I didn't say anything about paintings, did I" asked the woman, innocent of the sarcasm. "I was talking about your farm, which you ought to sell, or lease, now that you have the chance, and give your wife and daughter the opportunity to take their places in a circle where they would shine. It's your duty, Mr. Cameron, and you know it."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
