Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chinese Label Slowly his livery automobile edged its way through the excited, shouting carnival crowds, while Julian Napier scanned the features of the revelers, seeking the well-remembered face of Kalat Pasha. San Antonio´s Fiesta San Jacinto was in full swing. The downtown streets and plazas swarmed from curb to curb with merrymakers and spectators, roared and echoed to shouts and laughter, to the raucous, persuading cries of street merchants, to the tooting of horns and the clatter of rattles. With their thousands of extra electric lamps and their staring, high-powered flood-lights, they were almost as bright and much more beautiful than in the sunlight. Lights and flags and banners; now and then, when there fell a lull in the turmoil of voices, rose the drone and thump of not distant bands, - and everywhere the swirling crowd, in tens of thousands. Three days, now, Julian Napier had been in San Antonio, always seeking that one olive-tinted face. It was a face he had not seen for more than eight years.
