Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Farnell´s Folly Ward Farnell, the merchant of Waybrook, had been closeted half the afternoon with his head clerk and a stranger from Buffalo, when at five o´clock he came out of his counting-room, looking so changed, so old and so ghastly, that the boys in the store ceased their jokes, and the gravest among them stepped forward with a countenance full of anxious sympathy. "Can I do anything for you, Mr. Farnell?" he asked. "No, thank you, William. I am going home. I am not well." "But, Mr. Farnell, you haven´t your overcoat!" "Ah! haven´t I? you are very kind." Waiting for his coat, the merchant grasped feebly at the counter behind him, and leaned unsteadily, with his hat set in a sort of drunken way on his broad, grizzled head. The young man brought the garment and guided the struggling arms into it, smoothing it over the shoulders with needless solicitude, as if his very hands would show the kindness of his heart. "Thank you, William. You were always one of my best boys. I suppose you know what has happened? I am a ruined man, a ruined man!"
