The Wrong Twin

CHAPTER I
22/63

"What's a pitfall ?" "The way Ben Blunt did when his cruel stepmother beat him because he wouldn't steal and bring it home." "Ben Blunt ?" questioned both twins.
"That's whom I am going to be.

That's whom I am now--or just as soon as I change clothes with some unfortunate.

It's in a book.

'Ben Blunt, the Newsboy; or, From Rags to Riches.' He run off because his cruel stepmother beat him black and blue, and he become a mere street urchin, though his father, Mr.Blunt, was a gentleman in good circumstances; and while he was a mere street urchin he sold papers and blacked boots, and he was an honest, manly lad and become adopted by a kind, rich old gentleman named Mr.Pettigrew, that he saved from a gang of rowdies that boded him no good, and was taken to his palatial mansion and given a kind home and a new suit of clothes and a good Christian education, and that's how he got from rags to riches.

And I'm going to be it; I'm going to be a mere street urchin and do everything he did." "Ho!" The Wilbur twin was brutal.
