They contrived to keep it for a week--till the police found it one night, artfully hidden behind bushes. Logically, I do not see why stealing apples should be noble and stealing bicycles should be mean, but it struck me that way at the time. It was not the particular steal I had been hoping for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
