Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Thisselton "At last," he murmured. He spoke half aloud, and there was relief, not bereavement, in his tone. The next instant, his glance darted to right and left. It is always well to remember decorum. "Ah!" he breathed when he had made sure that there was no one to hear him. Then he followed the chaplain. The same evening saw him in the train bound for home. After a slower journey than now, for this was more than a quarter of a century ago, and the P. L. M. express had fewer ambitions towards racing, he arrived in Paris. There he made his way about with evident familiarity though he only paused to eat a meal and then hurried along; but he took that meal at a haunt quite unknown to the mere tourist. And all the while he was upheld by the feeling that he was doing the utmost appearances could expect, and that he might look for his reward. For with appearances there is always a to-morrow, and to-day, having been so thoroughly propitiated, leaves the morrow to make what bargain it pleases. A telegram had announced the hour of Captain Thisselton´s return, and, as the dogcart drew up before the shallow flight of steps leading to the entrance of Thisselton House, the door was thrown open, and a boy stood within the space.
