Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Birds of Prey Being Pages From the Book of Broadway, Vol. 5 Since the days when Broadway was as I have written of it here the Great Change has come to many of us who once breathed that hectic air. Service has ennobled many who, true enough to type as they were, and as I have described them, have since had a chance to die worthily even if they lived otherwise. As for myself, I have been estranged from Broadway these many years. Even when it was my habitat it commanded neither affection nor admiration from me. Circumstances, however, once put me in a position to see it from the inside, and just so I have written of it. But let none flatter themselves that he or she personally is sufficiently typical to make any of my characters new. All who figure in these pages are combinations of some half-score or so folk of their class. That they run true to form in this book is the last reason in the world for any one person believing him or herself originally described. I write this while I await the sailing of the ship that will carry me to England to join His Majesty´s forces. While you read it, I believe my training will be over and that I shall be in France. There I hope to see something of what the Great Change has wrought in men. God grant I shall measure up to the high standard set by the meanest Tommy of the British Canadians.
