Project Gutenberg 2014-03-14 Public domain in the USA. 87 Sherman, Charles 1882 Brown, Arthur William 1881 1966 He Comes Up Smiling Produced by Al Haines "He Comes Up Smiling" by Charles Sherman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story predominantly features a group of vagabonds, particularly focusing on a character known as the Watermelon, who weaves through humorous interactions and escapades in pursuit of comfort and social acceptance against a backdrop of poverty. This light-hearted tale explores themes of identity, class contrasts, and the absurdities of societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to an engaging dialogue between the Watermelon, James, and Mike, who are lounging beneath a butternut tree. They banter about a makeshift beauty contest, showcasing their lack of modesty and humor in a rough, carefree manner. As the Watermelon reveals his plans to don borrowed finery for a more respectable appearance in town, we gather insight into his aspirations for self-improvement while also witnessing the grounded nature of all three characters. Their discussions about beauty contests serve as a clever commentary on values and self-image, setting a playful tone that invites readers into a world of charming misfits navigating life’s challenges.
