Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Expected nothing, got nothing.
It is just a bit too...plain. I thought that the story might at least have a happy ending; Abijah and her mother would be able to live a life of comfort and happiness, but nothing of that sort happened and everything goes back to the way it was. The story was short, barely 17 pages, so there wasn't any scope for substantial character development. No plot to keep you engaged. But it is such a short read that you barely have to spend much time on it.

Despite a warning from her mother, Abijah has still gotten herself into an awful mess, would she get out of it?

An okay short story that was not too exciting for me.
