Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Temptation It came smash on to my hat, slipped off the brim on to my shoulder, then fell to the pavement. I did not know what had happened. I took off my black felt hat and looked at it. There was a great dent in the crown; if it had not been for my hat something would have happened to my head. And my shoulder hurt. Then I looked at the pavement. At my feet was what seemed to be some sort of canvas bag. I picked it up. It was made of coarse brown canvas, perhaps five inches square, and was stuffed full of what felt to be some sort of metal. It was heavy, weighing perhaps a pound. No wonder it had dented my hat - made my shoulder smart. Where could the thing have come from? As I was wondering I became conscious that a man was moving towards me from the other side of the road - moving rapidly. I had been vaguely aware as I came striding along that there was someone on the other side of the road. Now he was positively rushing at me - was within a foot before I realised that he was making for me. He said something in some guttural foreign tongue - I supposed it to be a foreign tongue, although, so far as I knew, I had never heard it spoken before - and made a grab at the bag which had struck me. I put it behind my back in my left hand; my right I placed against his chest and pushed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
