found at the bottom of a spam e-mail i received today:
He had now recovered all his property, except the traveling machine, the
one thing that was absolutely necessary to enable him to escape from this
barbarous country. He continued his search persistently, and an hour later
found the dead body of the third robber lying in the square in the center of
the city.
But the traveling machine was not on his person, and for the first time the
boy began to give way to despair.anyone know where this passage comes from?
