Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sherry "That´s my last dime," said young Redpath, as he deposited the coin with elaborate precision upon the shiny surface of the bar. As the bartender slid the glass and the bottle in front of him, he added, unsteadily: "And this is my last drink." The dispenser of drinks did not smile. He had heard that sort of proclamation before. He tenderly polished the surface of the bar with his towel, squinted at it, and removed a recently deposited splotch of water, the result of his patron´s unsteadiness of hand in pushing aside the "chaser." "Good!" said he, squinting again. "You mean the last for today," he added, turning to the cash register. His customer watched him ring up the amount, starting slightly as the bell gave forth its peremptory clangs. "The last ever" said the patron, and dashed off the brimming glass of bourbon. His throat contracted with the spasm customary to him who drinks his liquor "neat": and then, thinking better of his habits, he reached out and lifted the small glass of water to his lips. It had been his vainglorious boast that he always took his whisky straight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
