{"product_id":"2940011928239","title":"ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP","description":"This, I am firmly convinced, is a strange world, as strange a one as I was ever in. Looking about me I perceive that the simplest things are the most difficult, the plainest things, the darkest, the commonest things, the rarest.\u003cbr\u003eI have had an amusing adventure--and made a friend.\u003cbr\u003eThis morning when I went to town for my marketing I met a man who was a Mason, an Oddfellow and an Elk, and who wore the evidences of his various memberships upon his coat. He asked me what lodge I belonged to, and he slapped me on the back in the heartiest manner, as though he had known me intimately for a long time. (I may say, in passing, that he was trying to sell me a new kind of corn-planter.) I could not help feeling complimented--both complimented and abashed. For I am not a Mason, or an Oddfellow, or an Elk. When I told him so he seemed much surprised and disappointed.","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068884566256,"sku":"2940011928239","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011928239_p0.jpg?v=1763551505","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011928239","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
