HTML version by Al Haines. + + + + + + + + + + MOSSES FROM AN OLD MANSE + + By Nathaniel Hawthorne + + THE OLD APPLE DEALER + + + +The lover of the moral picturesque may sometimes find what he, seeks +in a character which is nevertheless of too negative a description +to be seized upon and represented to the imaginative vision by +word-painting. As an instance, I remember an old man who carries on a +little trade of gingerbread and apples at the depot of one of our +railroads. While awaiting the departure of the cars, my +observation, flitting to and fro among the livelier characteristics +of the scene, has often settled insensibly upon this almost hueless +object. Thus, unconsciously to myself and unsuspected by him, I +have studied the old apple-dealer until he has become a naturalized +citizen of my inner world. How little would he imagine--poor, +neglected, friendless, unappreciated, and with little that demands +appreciation--that the mental eye of an utter stranger has so often +reverted to his figure! Many a noble form, many a beautiful face, +has flitted before me and vanished like a shadow. It is a strange +witchcraft whereby this faded and featureless old apple-dealer has +gained a settlement in my memory. + +He is a small man, with gray hair and gray stubble beard, and is +invariably clad in a shabby surtout of snuff-color, closely +buttoned, and half concealing a pair of gray pantaloons; the whole +dress, though clean and entire, being evidently flimsy with much +wear. His face, thin, withered, furrowed, and with features which +even age has failed to render impressive, has a frost-bitten aspect. +It is a moral frost which no physical warmth or comfortableness +could counteract. The summer sunshine may fling its white heat upon +him or the good fire of the depot room may slake him the focus of +its blaze on a winter's day; but all in vain; for still the old roan +looks as if he were in a frosty atmosphere, with scarcely warmth +enough to keep life in the region about his heart. It is a patient, +long-suffering, quiet, hopeless, shivering aspect. He is not +desperate,--that, though its etymology implies no more, would be too +positive an expression,--but merely devoid of hope. As all his past +life, probably, offers no spots of brightness to his memory, so he +takes his present poverty and discomfort as entirely a matter of +course! he thinks it the definition of existence, so far as himself +is concerned, to be poor, cold, and uncomfortable. It may be added, +that time has not thrown dignity as a mantle over the old man's +figure: there is nothing venerable about him: you pity him without a +scruple. + +He sits on a bench in the depot room; and before him, on the floor, +are deposited two baskets of a capacity to contain his whole stock +in trade. Across from one basket to the other extends a board, on +which is displayed a plate of cakes and gingerbread, some russet and +red-cheeked apples, and a box containing variegated sticks of candy, +together with that delectable condiment known by children as +Gibraltar rock, neatly done up in white paper. There is likewise a +half-peck measure of cracked walnuts and two or three tin half-pints +or gills filled with the nut-kernels, ready for purchasers. + +Such are the small commodities with which our old friend comes daily +before the world, ministering to its petty needs and little freaks +of appetite, and seeking thence the solid subsistence--so far as he +may subsist of his life. + +A slight observer would speak of the old man's quietude; but, on +closer scrutiny, you discover that there is a continual unrest +within him, which somewhat resembles the fluttering action of the +nerves in a corpse from which life has recently departed. Though he +never exhibits any violent action, and, indeed, might appear to be +sitting quite still, yet you perceive, when his minuter +peculiarities begin to be detected, that he is always making some +little movement or other. He looks anxiously at his plate of cakes +or pyramid of apples and slightly alters their arrangement, with an +evident idea that a great deal depends on their being disposed +exactly thus and so. Then for a moment he gazes out of the window; +then he shivers quietly and folds his arms across his breast, as if +to draw himself closer within himself, and thus keep a flicker of +warmth in his lonesome heart. Now he turns again to his merchandise +of cakes, apples, and candy, and discovers that this cake or that +apple, or yonder stick of red and white candy, has somehow got out +of its proper position. And is there not a walnut-kernel too many +or too few in one of those small tin measures? Again the whole +arrangement appears to be settled to his mind; but, in the course of +a minute or two, there will assuredly be something to set right. At +times, by an indescribable shadow upon his features, too quiet, +however, to be noticed until you are familiar with his ordinary +aspect, the expression of frostbitten, patient despondency becomes +very touching. It seems as if just at that instant the suspicion +occurred to him that, in his chill decline of life, earning scanty +bread by selling cakes, apples, and candy, he is a very miserable +old fellow. + +But, if he thinks so, it is a mistake. He can never suffer the +extreme of misery, because the tone of his whole being is too much +subdued for him to feel anything acutely. + +Occasionally one of the passengers, to while away a tedious +interval, approaches the old man, inspects the articles upon his +board, and even peeps curiously into the two baskets. Another, +striding to and fro along the room, throws a look at the apples and +gingerbread at every turn. A third, it may be of a more sensitive +and delicate texture of being, glances shyly thitherward, cautious +not to excite expectations of a purchaser while yet undetermined +whether to buy. But there appears to be no need of such a +scrupulous regard to our old friend's feelings. True, he is +conscious of the remote possibility to sell a cake or an apple; but +innumerable disappointments have rendered him so far a philosopher, +that, even if the purchased article should be returned, he will +consider it altogether in the ordinary train of events. He speaks +to none, and makes no sign of offering his wares to the public: not +that he is deterred by pride, but by the certain conviction that +such demonstrations would not increase his custom. Besides, this +activity in business would require an energy that never could have +been a characteristic of his almost passive disposition even in +youth. Whenever an actual customer customer appears the old man +looks up with a patient eye: if the price and the article are +approved, he is ready to make change; otherwise his eyelids droop +again sadly enough, but with no heavier despondency than before. He +shivers, perhaps folds his lean arms around his lean body, and +resumes the life-long, frozen patience in which consists his +strength. + +Once in a while a school-boy comes hastily up, places cent or two +upon the board, and takes up a cake, or stick of candy, or a measure +of walnuts, or an apple as red-checked as himself. There are no +words as to price, that being as well known to the buyer as to the +seller. The old apple-dealer never speaks an unnecessary word not +that he is sullen and morose; but there is none of the cheeriness +and briskness in him that stirs up people to talk. + +Not seldom he is greeted by some old neighbor, a man well to do in +the world, who makes a civil, patronizing observation about the +weather; and then, by way of performing a charitable deed, begins to +chaffer for an apple. Our friend presumes not on any past +acquaintance; he makes the briefest possible response to all general +remarks, and shrinks quietly into himself again. After every +diminution of his stock he takes care to produce from the basket +another cake, another stick of candy, another apple, or another +measure of walnuts, to supply the place of the article sold. Two or +three attempts--or, perchance, half a dozen--are requisite before +the board can be rearranged to his satisfaction. If he have received +a silver coin, he waits till the purchaser is out of sight, then +examines it closely, and tries to bend it with his finger and thumb: +finally he puts it into his waistcoat-pocket with seemingly a gentle +sigh. This sigh, so faint as to be hardly perceptible, and not +expressive of any definite emotion, is the accompaniment and +conclusion of all his actions. It is the symbol of the chillness and +torpid melancholy of his old age, which only make themselves felt +sensibly when his repose is slightly disturbed. + +Our man of gingerbread and apples is not a specimen of the "needy +man who has seen better days." Doubtless there have been better and +brighter days in the far-off time of his youth; but none with so much +sunshine of prosperity in them that the chill, the depression, the +narrowness of means, in his declining years, can have come upon him +by surprise. His life has all been of a piece. His subdued and +nerveless boyhood prefigured his abortive prime, which likewise +contained within itself the prophecy and image of his lean and +torpid age. He was perhaps a mechanic, who never came to be a +master in his craft, or a petty tradesman, rubbing onward between +passably to do and poverty. Possibly he may look back to some +brilliant epoch of his career when there were a hundred or two of +dollars to his credit in the Savings Bank. Such must have been the +extent of his better fortune,--his little measure of this world's +triumphs,--all that he has known of success. A meek, downcast, +humble, uncomplaining creature, he probably has never felt himself +entitled to more than so much of the gifts of Providence. Is it not +still something that he has never held out his hand for charity, nor +has yet been driven to that sad home and household of Earth's +forlorn and broken-spirited children, the almshouse? He cherishes +no quarrel, therefore, with his destiny, nor with the Author of it. +All is as it should be. + +If, indeed, he have been bereaved of a son, a bold, energetic, +vigorous young man, on whom the father's feeble nature leaned as on +a staff of strength, in that case he may have felt a bitterness that +could not otherwise have been generated in his heart. But methinks +the joy of possessing such a son and the agony of losing him would +have developed the old man's moral and intellectual nature to a much +greater degree than we now find it. Intense grief appears to be as +much out of keeping with his life as fervid happiness. + +To confess the truth, it is not the easiest matter in the world to +define and individualize a character like this which we are now +handling. The portrait must be so generally negative that the most +delicate pencil is likely to spoil it by introducing some too +positive tint. Every touch must be kept down, or else you destroy +the subdued tone which is absolutely essential to the whole effect. +Perhaps more may be done by contrast than by direct description. +For this purpose I make use of another cake and candy merchant, who, +likewise infests the railroad depot. This latter worthy is a very +smart and well-dressed boy of ten years old or thereabouts, who +skips briskly hither and thither, addressing the passengers in a +pert voice, yet with somewhat of good breeding in his tone and +pronunciation. Now he has caught my eye, and skips across the room +with a pretty pertness, which I should like to correct with a box on +the ear. "Any cake, sir? any candy?" + +No, none for me, my lad. I did but glance at your brisk figure in +order to catch a reflected light and throw it upon your old rival +yonder. + +Again, in order to invest my conception of the old man with a more +decided sense of reality, I look at him in the very moment of +intensest bustle, on the arrival of the cars. The shriek of the +engine as it rushes into the car-house is the utterance of the steam +fiend, whom man has subdued by magic spells and compels to serve as +a beast of burden. He has skimmed rivers in his headlong rush, +dashed through forests, plunged into the hearts of mountains, and +glanced from the city to the desert-place, and again to a far-off +city, with a meteoric progress, seen and out of sight, while his +reverberating roar still fills the ear. The travellers swarm forth +from the cars. All are full of the momentum which they have caught +from their mode of conveyance. It seems as if the whole world, both +morally and physically, were detached from its old standfasts and +set in rapid motion. And, in the midst of this terrible activity, +there sits the old man of gingerbread, so subdued, so hopeless, so +without a stake in life, and yet not positively miserable,--there +he sits, the forlorn old creature, one chill and sombre day after +another, gathering scanty coppers for his cakes, apples, and +candy,--there sits the old apple-dealer, in his threadbare suit of +snuff-color and gray and his grizzly stubble heard. See! he folds +his lean arms around his lean figure with that quiet sigh and that +scarcely perceptible shiver which are the tokens of his inward +state. I have him now. He and the steam fiend are each other's +antipodes; the latter is the type of all that go ahead, and the old +man the representative of that melancholy class who by some sad +witchcraft are doomed never to share in the world's exulting +progress. Thus the contrast between mankind and this desolate +brother becomes picturesque, and even sublime. + +And now farewell, old friend! Little do you suspect that a student +of human life has made your character the theme of more than one +solitary and thoughtful hour. Many would say that you have hardly +individuality enough to be the object of your own self-love. How, +then, can a stranger's eye detect anything in your mind and heart to +study and to wonder at? Yet, could I read but a tithe of what is +written there, it would be a volume of deeper and more comprehensive +import than all that the wisest mortals have given to the world; for +the soundless depths of the human soul and of eternity have an +opening through your breast. God be praised, were it only for your +sake, that the present shapes of human existence are not cast in +iron nor hewn in everlasting adamant, but moulded of the vapors that +vanish away while the essence flits upward to the infinite. There +is a spiritual essence in this gray and lean old shape that shall +flit upward too. Yes; doubtless there is a region where the +life-long shiver will pass away from his being, and that quiet sigh, +which it has taken him so many years to breathe, will be brought to +a close for good and all. + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Old Apple Dealer (From "Mosses +From An Old Manse"), by Nathaniel Hawthorne + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE OLD APPLE DEALER *** + +***** This file should be named 9234.txt or 9234.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/9/2/3/9234/ + +Produced by David Widger.

Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/9234.zip b/old/9234.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..463b849 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/9234.zip diff --git a/old/haw6110.txt b/old/haw6110.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f04adea --- /dev/null +++ b/old/haw6110.txt @@ -0,0 +1,629 @@ +Project Gutenberg EBook, The Old Apple Dealer, by Nathaniel Hawthorne +From "Mosses From An Old Manse" +#61 in our series by Nathaniel Hawthorne + +Copyright laws are changing all over the world.

As an instance, I remember an old man who carries on a +little trade of gingerbread and apples at the depot of one of our +railroads. While awaiting the departure of the cars, my +observation, flitting to and fro among the livelier characteristics +of the scene, has often settled insensibly upon this almost hueless +object. Thus, unconsciously to myself and unsuspected by him, I +have studied the old apple-dealer until he has become a naturalized +citizen of my inner world. How little would he imagine--poor, +neglected, friendless, unappreciated, and with little that demands +appreciation--that the mental eye of an utter stranger has so often +reverted to his figure! Many a noble form, many a beautiful face, +has flitted before me and vanished like a shadow. It is a strange +witchcraft whereby this faded and featureless old apple-dealer has +gained a settlement in my memory. + +He is a small man, with gray hair and gray stubble beard, and is +invariably clad in a shabby surtout of snuff-color, closely +buttoned, and half concealing a pair of gray pantaloons; the whole +dress, though clean and entire, being evidently flimsy with much +wear. His face, thin, withered, furrowed, and with features which +even age has failed to render impressive, has a frost-bitten aspect. +It is a moral frost which no physical warmth or comfortableness +could counteract. The summer sunshine may fling its white heat upon +him or the good fire of the depot room may slake him the focus of +its blaze on a winter's day; but all in vain; for still the old roan +looks as if he were in a frosty atmosphere, with scarcely warmth +enough to keep life in the region about his heart. It is a patient, +long-suffering, quiet, hopeless, shivering aspect. He is not +desperate,--that, though its etymology implies no more, would be too +positive an expression,--but merely devoid of hope. As all his past +life, probably, offers no spots of brightness to his memory, so he +takes his present poverty and discomfort as entirely a matter of +course! he thinks it the definition of existence, so far as himself +is concerned, to be poor, cold, and uncomfortable. It may be added, +that time has not thrown dignity as a mantle over the old man's +figure: there is nothing venerable about him: you pity him without a +scruple. + +He sits on a bench in the depot room; and before him, on the floor, +are deposited two baskets of a capacity to contain his whole stock +in trade. Across from one basket to the other extends a board, on +which is displayed a plate of cakes and gingerbread, some russet and +red-cheeked apples, and a box containing variegated sticks of candy, +together with that delectable condiment known by children as +Gibraltar rock, neatly done up in white paper. There is likewise a +half-peck measure of cracked walnuts and two or three tin half-pints +or gills filled with the nut-kernels, ready for purchasers. + +Such are the small commodities with which our old friend comes daily +before the world, ministering to its petty needs and little freaks +of appetite, and seeking thence the solid subsistence--so far as he +may subsist of his life. + +A slight observer would speak of the old man's quietude; but, on +closer scrutiny, you discover that there is a continual unrest +within him, which somewhat resembles the fluttering action of the +nerves in a corpse from which life has recently departed. Though he +never exhibits any violent action, and, indeed, might appear to be +sitting quite still, yet you perceive, when his minuter +peculiarities begin to be detected, that he is always making some +little movement or other. He looks anxiously at his plate of cakes +or pyramid of apples and slightly alters their arrangement, with an +evident idea that a great deal depends on their being disposed +exactly thus and so. Then for a moment he gazes out of the window; +then he shivers quietly and folds his arms across his breast, as if +to draw himself closer within himself, and thus keep a flicker of +warmth in his lonesome heart. Now he turns again to his merchandise +of cakes, apples, and candy, and discovers that this cake or that +apple, or yonder stick of red and white candy, has somehow got out +of its proper position. And is there not a walnut-kernel too many +or too few in one of those small tin measures? Again the whole +arrangement appears to be settled to his mind; but, in the course of +a minute or two, there will assuredly be something to set right. At +times, by an indescribable shadow upon his features, too quiet, +however, to be noticed until you are familiar with his ordinary +aspect, the expression of frostbitten, patient despondency becomes +very touching. It seems as if just at that instant the suspicion +occurred to him that, in his chill decline of life, earning scanty +bread by selling cakes, apples, and candy, he is a very miserable +old fellow. + +But, if he thinks so, it is a mistake. He can never suffer the +extreme of misery, because the tone of his whole being is too much +subdued for him to feel anything acutely. + +Occasionally one of the passengers, to while away a tedious +interval, approaches the old man, inspects the articles upon his +board, and even peeps curiously into the two baskets. Another, +striding to and fro along the room, throws a look at the apples and +gingerbread at every turn. A third, it may be of a more sensitive +and delicate texture of being, glances shyly thitherward, cautious +not to excite expectations of a purchaser while yet undetermined +whether to buy. But there appears to be no need of such a +scrupulous regard to our old friend's feelings. True, he is +conscious of the remote possibility to sell a cake or an apple; but +innumerable disappointments have rendered him so far a philosopher, +that, even if the purchased article should be returned, he will +consider it altogether in the ordinary train of events. He speaks +to none, and makes no sign of offering his wares to the public: not +that he is deterred by pride, but by the certain conviction that +such demonstrations would not increase his custom. Besides, this +activity in business would require an energy that never could have +been a characteristic of his almost passive disposition even in +youth. Whenever an actual customer customer appears the old man +looks up with a patient eye: if the price and the article are +approved, he is ready to make change; otherwise his eyelids droop +again sadly enough, but with no heavier despondency than before. He +shivers, perhaps folds his lean arms around his lean body, and +resumes the life-long, frozen patience in which consists his +strength. + +Once in a while a school-boy comes hastily up, places cent or two +upon the board, and takes up a cake, or stick of candy, or a measure +of walnuts, or an apple as red-checked as himself. There are no +words as to price, that being as well known to the buyer as to the +seller. The old apple-dealer never speaks an unnecessary word not +that he is sullen and morose; but there is none of the cheeriness +and briskness in him that stirs up people to talk. + +Not seldom he is greeted by some old neighbor, a man well to do in +the world, who makes a civil, patronizing observation about the +weather; and then, by way of performing a charitable deed, begins to +chaffer for an apple. Our friend presumes not on any past +acquaintance; he makes the briefest possible response to all general +remarks, and shrinks quietly into himself again. After every +diminution of his stock he takes care to produce from the basket +another cake, another stick of candy, another apple, or another +measure of walnuts, to supply the place of the article sold. Two or +three attempts--or, perchance, half a dozen--are requisite before +the board can be rearranged to his satisfaction. If he have received +a silver coin, he waits till the purchaser is out of sight, then +examines it closely, and tries to bend it with his finger and thumb: +finally he puts it into his waistcoat-pocket with seemingly a gentle +sigh. This sigh, so faint as to be hardly perceptible, and not +expressive of any definite emotion, is the accompaniment and +conclusion of all his actions. It is the symbol of the chillness and +torpid melancholy of his old age, which only make themselves felt +sensibly when his repose is slightly disturbed. + +Our man of gingerbread and apples is not a specimen of the "needy +man who has seen better days." Doubtless there have been better and +brighter days in the far-off time of his youth; but none with so much +sunshine of prosperity in them that the chill, the depression, the +narrowness of means, in his declining years, can have come upon him +by surprise. His life has all been of a piece. His subdued and +nerveless boyhood prefigured his abortive prime, which likewise +contained within itself the prophecy and image of his lean and +torpid age. He was perhaps a mechanic, who never came to be a +master in his craft, or a petty tradesman, rubbing onward between +passably to do and poverty. Possibly he may look back to some +brilliant epoch of his career when there were a hundred or two of +dollars to his credit in the Savings Bank. Such must have been the +extent of his better fortune,--his little measure of this world's +triumphs,--all that he has known of success. A meek, downcast, +humble, uncomplaining creature, he probably has never felt himself +entitled to more than so much of the gifts of Providence. Is it not +still something that he has never held out his hand for charity, nor +has yet been driven to that sad home and household of Earth's +forlorn and broken-spirited children, the almshouse? He cherishes +no quarrel, therefore, with his destiny, nor with the Author of it. +All is as it should be. + +If, indeed, he have been bereaved of a son, a bold, energetic, +vigorous young man, on whom the father's feeble nature leaned as on +a staff of strength, in that case he may have felt a bitterness that +could not otherwise have been generated in his heart. But methinks +the joy of possessing such a son and the agony of losing him would +have developed the old man's moral and intellectual nature to a much +greater degree than we now find it. Intense grief appears to be as +much out of keeping with his life as fervid happiness. + +To confess the truth, it is not the easiest matter in the world to +define and individualize a character like this which we are now +handling. The portrait must be so generally negative that the most +delicate pencil is likely to spoil it by introducing some too +positive tint. Every touch must be kept down, or else you destroy +the subdued tone which is absolutely essential to the whole effect. +Perhaps more may be done by contrast than by direct description. +For this purpose I make use of another cake and candy merchant, who, +likewise infests the railroad depot. This latter worthy is a very +smart and well-dressed boy of ten years old or thereabouts, who +skips briskly hither and thither, addressing the passengers in a +pert voice, yet with somewhat of good breeding in his tone and +pronunciation. Now he has caught my eye, and skips across the room +with a pretty pertness, which I should like to correct with a box on +the ear. "Any cake, sir? any candy?" + +No, none for me, my lad. I did but glance at your brisk figure in +order to catch a reflected light and throw it upon your old rival +yonder. + +Again, in order to invest my conception of the old man with a more +decided sense of reality, I look at him in the very moment of +intensest bustle, on the arrival of the cars. The shriek of the +engine as it rushes into the car-house is the utterance of the steam +fiend, whom man has subdued by magic spells and compels to serve as +a beast of burden. He has skimmed rivers in his headlong rush, +dashed through forests, plunged into the hearts of mountains, and +glanced from the city to the desert-place, and again to a far-off +city, with a meteoric progress, seen and out of sight, while his +reverberating roar still fills the ear. The travellers swarm forth +from the cars. All are full of the momentum which they have caught +from their mode of conveyance. It seems as if the whole world, both +morally and physically, were detached from its old standfasts and +set in rapid motion. And, in the midst of this terrible activity, +there sits the old man of gingerbread, so subdued, so hopeless, so +without a stake in life, and yet not positively miserable,--there +he sits, the forlorn old creature, one chill and sombre day after +another, gathering scanty coppers for his cakes, apples, and +candy,--there sits the old apple-dealer, in his threadbare suit of +snuff-color and gray and his grizzly stubble heard. See! he folds +his lean arms around his lean figure with that quiet sigh and that +scarcely perceptible shiver which are the tokens of his inward +state. I have him now. He and the steam fiend are each other's +antipodes; the latter is the type of all that go ahead, and the old +man the representative of that melancholy class who by some sad +witchcraft are doomed never to share in the world's exulting +progress. Thus the contrast between mankind and this desolate +brother becomes picturesque, and even sublime. + +And now farewell, old friend! Little do you suspect that a student +of human life has made your character the theme of more than one +solitary and thoughtful hour. Many would say that you have hardly +individuality enough to be the object of your own self-love. How, +then, can a stranger's eye detect anything in your mind and heart to +study and to wonder at? Yet, could I read but a tithe of what is +written there, it would be a volume of deeper and more comprehensive +import than all that the wisest mortals have given to the world; for +the soundless depths of the human soul and of eternity have an +opening through your breast. God be praised, were it only for your +sake, that the present shapes of human existence are not cast in +iron nor hewn in everlasting adamant, but moulded of the vapors that +vanish away while the essence flits upward to the infinite. There +is a spiritual essence in this gray and lean old shape that shall +flit upward too. Yes; doubtless there is a region where the life- +long shiver will pass away from his being, and that quiet sigh, +which it has taken him so many years to breathe, will be brought to +a close for good and all. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE OLD APPLE DEALER *** +By Nathaniel Hawthorne + +***** This file should be named haw6110.txt or haw6110.zip ***** + +Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, haw6111.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, haw6110a.txt + +This eBook was produced by David Widger [widger@cecomet.net] + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
