Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Paprika: Being the Further Adventures of James P. McHenry Better Known to the Initiated Connoisseurs of Fiction as "Pepper" As soon as Pierson Dillingham graduated from college without seriously inconveniencing the faculty, his father, who was self-made and proud of it, summoned him to the private office, and explained that Pierson must now forget all that he had learned, mend his general deportment and the pattern of his haberdashery, discard his sense of humor, buy a pair of overalls, and become a respectable member of society. More specifically, he said that Pierson was expected to shed the light of his countenance upon the sorting room of the carpet factory for eight working hours a day, and to absorb enough intelligence so that in the course of twenty or thirty years he would be capable of continuing the paternal vocation of turning out first-class Oriental rugs for export to Persia and the Ottoman empire. Mr. Dillingham had taken for granted the joy and gratitude which Pierson would display when the glad news was broken to him. Naturally he was disconcerted when Pierson said he wanted to go into business for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
