Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces of Fiction, Vol. 3 I had hardly made my appearance in the world when, for the first time in his life, my father began to display bad temper. Although as yet I was of only a doubtful shade of gray, he failed to recognise in me either the colour or the form of his numerous progeny. Sometimes he would cock his head, and look at me askance, and say: There is an untidy child for you; it would seem as if the little blackguard took pains to go and wallow in every mud-hole and plaster-heap that he came to, he is always so ugly and filthy.
