Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Out of the West "The Oriental" was the handsomest and most luxurious club house in the dty. It was large, beautifully furnished and well ventilated by long windows opening upon a roomy balcony overlooking the park. The privileges and enjoyment of its rooms were extended to only a limited number of wealthy, aristocratic young men. There, one was always sure of meeting congenial companions with whom to pass away idle hours in smoking, drinking, card playing and gossip. It was about four o´clock of a lovely September day; the air was warm and balmy; just the day to luxuriate in after a long, hot summer. Out on the balcony several men were smoking; just inside, seated around a table on which were wine and glasses, was a group of four young men of that stamp seen in our big cities, fast youths who crowd more excitement and pleasure into one year of their lives than their fathers did in ten. This furious race of vitality and time leaves its impress upon each face, in the sallow complexion, the bleared eyes, and the incessant demand for drink, or smoke, to fan the dying embers into more life.
