Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Human Odds and Ends: Stories and Sketches Luncheon hour was past, and the tide of guests had begun to ebb. From his cushioned corner, his familiar scat in the restaurant, Wilfrid Langley kept an observant eye upon chatting groups and silent solitaries who still lingered at the tables near him. In this quiet half-hour, whilst smoking a cigarette and enjoying his modest claret, he caught the flitting suggestion of many a story, sketch, gossipy paper. A woman´s laugh, a man´s surly visage, couples oddly assorted, scraps of dialogue heard amid the confused noises - everywhere the elements of drama, to be fused and minted in his brain. Success had multiplied his powers a hundredfold; success and the comforts that came with it - savoury meats, wine, companionship. No one was dependent upon him; no one restrained his liberty; he lived where he chose, and how he chose. And for all that - his age fell short of thirty - something seemed to him amiss in the bounty of the gods.
