A little valise was\u003cbr\u003estrapped in front of my bicycle; my coat, rolled into a small compass,\u003cbr\u003ewas securely tied under the seat, and I was starting out to spend my\u003cbr\u003evacation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was the teacher of the village school, which useful institution had\u003cbr\u003ebeen closed for the season the day before, much to the gratification\u003cbr\u003eof pedagogue and scholars. This position was not at all the summit of\u003cbr\u003emy youthful ambition. In fact, I had been very much disappointed when\u003cbr\u003eI found myself obliged to accept it, but when I left college my\u003cbr\u003efinancial condition made it desirable for me to do something to\u003cbr\u003esupport myself while engaged in some of the studies preparatory to a\u003cbr\u003eprofessional career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have never considered myself a sentimental person, but I must admit\u003cbr\u003ethat I did not feel very happy that morning, and this state of mind\u003cbr\u003ewas occasioned entirely by the feeling that there was no one who\u003cbr\u003eseemed to be in the least sorry that I was going away. My boys were so\u003cbr\u003edelighted to give up their studies that they were entirely satisfied\u003cbr\u003eto give up their teacher, and I am sure that my vacation would have\u003cbr\u003ebeen a very long one if they had had the ordering of it. My landlady\u003cbr\u003emight have been pleased to have me stay, but if I had agreed to pay my\u003cbr\u003eboard during my absence I do not doubt that my empty room would have\u003cbr\u003eoccasioned her no pangs of regret. I had friends in the village, but\u003cbr\u003eas they knew it was a matter of course that I should go away during\u003cbr\u003ethe vacation, they seemed to be perfectly reconciled to the fact.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182672789744,"sku":"2940013517820","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013517820","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
