Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Golden Stories: A Selection of the Best Fiction by the Foremost Writers To a lone traveler the journey by express from New York to Montreal is given to be dreary. To five Englishmen, traveling together, the journey is not quite so monotonous, but quite monotonous enough. This afternoon, by the time the train had accomplished three-quarters of its run, five English passengers had grown weary of their first real train ride in America, weary of the unkempt scenery, weary of the jostling, the jolting, the bumping, weary of the clatter and dust and smoke, weary of books and pipes and papers. At length, to chase away monotony, four of the five Englishmen, revolving their chairs so that they faced one another, then began in unison to sing. They struck up the Madrigal from "The Mikado," surely one of the most delightful of Gilbert and Sullivan´s inspirations. At the first note each passenger in the car laid aside whatever he or she was doing the better to listen. For the four Englishmen sang with surpassing beauty of voices gifted by nature and perfected by training. Every soul within hearing distance was charmed, many shifted seats to be near the singers. Every soul was thankful for that harmonious intermission in the dull discord of the journey - every soul save one soul. Aboard this express there happened to be one man who had no music in his soul and, as it further happened, he was a man of mighty importance.
