BOBBIE A STORY OF THE CONFEDERACY

Excerp: He always said he never knew which was worse his name or his nose; but as he could get rid of neither he accepted both in his own bright happy way and that ended the matter with him.Peter Black had given him the name of Mars’ Bobbie to distinguish him from Mars’ Robert his father and it seemed to fit so exactly and suit so well his cheery lovable little self as a baby and later as a boy and even on to young manhood that no one thought of calling him anything else or loved any other name half so well for him.
