Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Black Sheep´s Gold The cigar was unwontedly good; it had made me peaceful and dreamy - that, or the reaction after the fuss of getting aboard and away. At all events, I leaned in the cushioned smoke-room chair, and gave myself up to enjoyment; let the sounds and sights and the smells of the great liner flow pleasantly over me. A girl was singing a little, exquisite French song with a merry ripple in the notes; through panels of plate glass that gave on the music-room, one could see the sparkle of gilding, gloss of satins and brocades; in the smoke-room, where I sat, there was smell of tobacco and pleasant drinks, murmur of well-bred voices, slap and rustle of cards, calls for the "boy"... Up the companion, rising like an incense to the gods of modem shipping, came that immemorial, mixed ship-smell that travellers know; chilled fruit in it, rubber carpeting in it, paint, soap, upholstery; last, not least to me, suggestion of good meals. They were all there, the things that I had known and forgotten. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
