Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady of Mystery House For my uncle James McIntyre I have always maintained a sincere respect, notwithstanding that in most matters our views and our natures are diametrically opposed. His person is the very rod of respectability. He is a spare man, with gray hair, penetrating gray eyes, a close-trimmed gray beard and a pallid, impassive face; he speaks in deliberate tones, his movements are calm, his plans are ever carefully calculated, his breakfast eggs are boiled exactly two and three-quarters minutes. I am his reverse: I utter words as a cheerful and careless spirit moves me, change plans whenever I can flash better ones and eat eggs cooked in any fashion that is palatable. In financial affairs we exhibit a like contrast: he being an armor-plated, shell-proof, invulnerable dreadnaught, - I a summer pleasure craft, frequently fast on rocks, or high and dry on the stays for repair.
