Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Man With a Thumb October of 1879 and a brisk evening. The hour is nine. People walk rapidly under the stimulus of the cool night air. One of the number, however, does not. Closely examining the buildings on either side of the street, he moves along slowly. Sometimes he stops on the curbstone and gazes intently at a house upon the opposite side. Thus he makes slow progress until he reaches the corner of Broadway and Bleecker Street. Here he stops and peers down the cross street. Apparently he debates with himself as to which way he shall go. Slowly he walks off in the direction of the Bowery and - into the middle of events which powerfully influence his whole life. He was a tall, athletic man. A careless observer would have said he was nearly forty. But he was in fact barely thirty-one. The stern, deep-seated lines of his face, suggesting settled grief, or harsh experiences in life, made him appear older than he was - these, and an expression of habitual melancholy.
