Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Afloat in a Great City: A Story of Strange Incidents On a dark November night - the wind blowing strongly from the east, chilly and dispiriting - a boy, thinly and most shabbily dressed, emerged from a side street carrying in his hand a coarse sack partially filled. He walked aimlessly up Broadway till he reached Union Square, and there, taking a position opposite Fourteenth Street, leaned wearily against a tree. He had no especial object in going there rather than to any other part of the great city. He drifted there as a deserted boat drifts upon the ocean; and yet there was a stronger influence operating upon him than the effect of wind and current upon the boat - a mysterious something that directed his steps to this point. The scene about him was picturesque. The broad branches of the tree against which he rested, together with their leaves and twigs, were photographed, by the electric light, in shadows of rare beauty upon the stone walk at his feet.
