{"product_id":"2940013313200","title":"Martin Rattler","description":"CHAPTER ONE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE HERO AND HIS ONLY RELATIVE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Rattler was a very bad boy.  At least his aunt, Mrs Dorothy\u003cbr\u003eGrumbit, said so; and certainly she ought to have known, if anybody\u003cbr\u003eshould, for Martin lived with her, and was, as she herself expressed it,\u003cbr\u003e\"the bane of her existence; the very torment of her life.\"  No doubt of\u003cbr\u003eit whatever, according to Aunt Dorothy Grumbit's showing, Martin Rattler\u003cbr\u003ewas \"a remarkably bad boy.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a curious fact, however, that, although most of the people in the\u003cbr\u003evillage of Ashford seemed to agree with Mrs Grumbit in her opinion of\u003cbr\u003eMartin, there were very few of them who did not smile cheerfully on the\u003cbr\u003echild when they met him, and say, \"Good day, lad!\" as heartily as if\u003cbr\u003ethey thought him the best boy in the place.  No one seemed to bear\u003cbr\u003eMartin Rattler ill-will, notwithstanding his alleged badness.  Men\u003cbr\u003elaughed when they said he was a bad boy, as if they did not quite\u003cbr\u003ebelieve their own assertion.  The vicar, an old whiteheaded man, with a\u003cbr\u003ekind, hearty countenance, said that the child was full of mischief, full\u003cbr\u003eof mischief; but he would improve as he grew older, he was quite certain\u003cbr\u003eof that.  And the vicar was a good judge; for he had five boys of his\u003cbr\u003eown, besides three other boys, the sons of a distant relative, who\u003cbr\u003eboarded with him; and he had lived forty years in a parish overflowing\u003cbr\u003ewith boys, and he was particularly fond of boys in general.  Not so the\u003cbr\u003edoctor, a pursy little man with a terrific frown, who hated boys,\u003cbr\u003eespecially little ones, with a very powerful hatred.  The doctor said\u003cbr\u003ethat Martin was a scamp.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082680320240,"sku":"2940013313200","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013313200_p0.jpg?v=1763579586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013313200","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
