Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Conflict, Vol. 1 of 2 Late autumn, the little season in London; carriages moving to and fro in the dusk of the worst-lighted city in Europe; dead leaves blown by the damp south-west wind, drifting across Piccadilly; a something of dreariness, a something of gaiety in the air. On such an evening Walter Arden left his club, after an accustomed rubber, as the Abbey clock struck seven, and sauntered dreamily across St. James´s Square to his lodgings in Jermyn Street. An idler, and always something of a dreamer, his reverie was deeper than usual tonight. He had been absent-minded at cards, and had played a losing game, to the disgust of his partner. It had been one of his bad days. Since the first dawn of reason he had been subject to periods of depression, intervals in which his spirits sank to zero, and the disgust of life took hold of him. What right had he to live? what motive had he for life, - he who was of no use to any living creature, whom nobody loved or valued?
