Today, we read a selection from her 1884 book, 'A Good Boy's Diary' called 'A Cat in the Dumb Waiter.' It's an amusing tale of a mischievous boy who gets into heaps of trouble!

March 12, 2008 Mister Ron's Basement #1006
Wed, Mar 12 2008 Mister Ron's Basement #1006 Max Adeler (Charles Heber Clark) was a master of building up a story -- his tales would start off somewhat amusing, then get funnier and funnier as they rolled along.
