Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady of Deerpark "Paul Jennings, the President wants you." I tossed out an ace, put on my coat, left the ball alley, and found the President awaiting me in his parlour. He laid a kindly hand on my shoulder; in the other he held a recently opened telegram. He seated me on a chair near the table. And while I sat there the news was broken to me of the family calamity. My father had died rather suddenly. I could speak no word, no tears came to me. A blinding sense of sorrow and a curious elation struggled in my mind for mastery. A little later as I flew up the stairs to the dormitory this strange elation got the upper hand. Although I was half-way through my last term I could have cried out a thanksgiving that I was to escape from that school, for I hated it - hated it with that hidden sickening unreasoning hatred which sometimes makes miserable a young life.
