Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jim Maitland The first time I heard Jim Maitland´s name mentioned was in the bar of a P. and O. We were two days out of Colombo, going East, and when I confessed my complete ignorance of the man a sort of stupefied silence settled on the company. "You don´t know Jim?" murmured an Assam tea-planter. "I thought everyone knew Jim." "Anyway, if you stay in these parts long you soon will," put in someone else. "And once known - never forgotten." They fell into reminiscences of old times, and I was well content to listen. Ever and anon Maitland´s name was mentioned, and gradually my curiosity was aroused. And when one by one they went off to turn in, leaving me alone with the tea-planter, I asked him point-blank for further details. He smiled thoughtfully, and took a sip of his whisky and soda. "Ever been in a brawl, Leyton, with ten men up against you, and only the couch keeping a fellow with a knife in the background from sticking it into your ribs? Well, that´s Jim´s heaven, though he´d prefer it to be twenty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
