Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joseph Greer and His Daughter: A Novel On the face of it, John Williamson´s invitation to lunch was nothing that Henry Craven need especially wonder, let alone worry, about. It was unusual - Henry couldn´t remember, indeed, that it had ever happened before in just these circumstances - but surely one needn´t feel on that account that there was anything ominous about it. The manner of giving it had been a little overbearing, perhaps; high-handed, anyhow. But that was John Williamson´s way, and no doubt his place in Chicago´s financial world entitled him to it. Henry had been dictating a letter - around eleven o´clock this was - when one of the bank´s more important customers spoke to him from across the marble rail. Evidently the man didn´t care to come inside, so Henry went to the rail to see what was wanted. His telephone rang while he stood talking with the customer and, of course, his stenographer answered it. He heard her say, "Yes, Mr. Williamson." And then, "He´s right here. Shan´t I call him?" But John, evidently, hadn´t thought it necessary to wait, even a minute. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
