Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Day at Laguerre´s and Other Days: Being Nine Sketches These slight sketches are the records, I must confess, of some more idle days stolen from a busy and far more practical life. I have committed these depredations upon myself for years, and have then run off to the far corners of the earth and sat down in some forgotten nook to enjoy my plunder. The villainy, strange to say, has only served to open my eyes the wider - and my heart too for that matter - and to bring me closer to many fellow tramps who have delighted my soul, and still do. Idle tramps if you will, who love the sunlight and simple fare and simple ways; ne´er-do-wells, who haunt the cafés and breakfast at twelve; vagrants made millionaires by a melon and a cigarette; mendicants who own a donkey and a pair of panniers, have three feast days a week, earn but half a handful of copper coin, and sing all day for the very joy of living.
