Little People (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Little People The Irish have a beautiful fancy, but you must know them and they must know you before they will make you free of it. So qualified, you will learn, in the strictest confidence, that you have only to rise at dawn to see the Little People going home. They have been out all night on business, and now they are running back to their subterranean abodes. The Little People are the ancient inhabitants of the country, still waiting for a turn of the luck, and meanwhile lying low. They take the air under the starlight, with other creatures that have scant fellowship with man, but the first streak of day drives them in a twinkling to the burrows or the clefts of the rocks. It has often struck me that this is an apologue as well as a myth. What are the Little People but a section of the quiet folk who form the vast majority of our kind?

Product Description:
Excerpt from Little People
It is like Freemasonry in its kind of power, while far exceeding it in the degree. A Lord Mayor on the Bench was once driven to remark with some severity that he could take no notice of the sign when it came from brother Masons in the dock. This irregularity, of course, was no impeachment of the morals of the Order at large. It meant no more than that, when Freemasonry happened to include the sinner as well as the saint, the sinner should play fair. Now Little Peopledom has a still wider embrace: it is only less of a general characteristic than the nose on your face, and only less variously inclusive than the order of the mammalia.
