    About this ebook

    Keeping Up with Lizzie by Irving Bacheller is about how the voice of reason Socrates Potter must convince Lizzie to make sensible decisions when she takes the town for a wild ride. Excerpt: "The Honorable Socrates Potter was the only "scientific man" in the village of Pointview, Connecticut. In every point of manhood, he was far ahead of his neighbors. In a way, he had outstripped himself, for, while his ideas were highly modern, he clung to the dress and manners that prevailed in his youth."
