Fugen eBooks

Any one in the land could have purchased these books from me
forever. A friend made the highest bid and secured the property.
My rights in my first nine novels became his, legally and
absolutely. There was even no verbal agreement between us--nothing
but his kind, honest eyes to reassure me. He not only paid the sum
he had bidden, but then and there wrote a check for a sum which,
with my other assets, immediately liquidated my personal debts,
principal and interest. The children of my fancy are again my
children, for they speedily earned enough to repay my friend and
to enable him to compromise with the holders of indorsed notes in
a way satisfactory to them. It so happened that most of these
creditors resided in my immediate neighborhood. I determined to
fight out the battle in their midst and under their daily
observation, and to treat all alike, without regard to their legal
claims. Only one creditor tried to make life a burden; but he did
his level best. The others permitted me to meet my obligations in
my own time and way, and I am grateful for their consideration.
