    About this ebook

    The Make-Believe Man by Richard Harding Davis shows Joseph Forbes Kinney and the narrator discussing Kinney's uncanny attraction for preposterous adventures. Little does the narrator know that the lawyers-in-training have a massive adventure lying in wait for them. Excerpt: "I felt, for me, adventures had already begun, for my meeting with the beautiful lady was the event of my life, and though Kinney and I had agreed to share our adventures, of this one I knew I could not even speak to him…"
