Mister Ron's Basement #1542

Sat, Dec 26 2009 Mister Ron's Basement #1542 Our Saturday Night Special story is by Seba Smith, whom we have not featured in the Basement in years. From his 1856 collection 'Way Down East' we offer a tale of a young Yankee in business for himself in the big city, who regretfully breaks his own policy of making his customers Pay in Advance. The story has some fun twists and turns right up to the end. It is called 'Peter Punctual.' Time: approx twenty-five minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Seba Smith Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/SebaSmith.html John Kelly of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement.
