Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prisoners of Hartling Dog´s life, old man, a dog´s life; you can´t get away from that." Arthur Woodroffe´s voice was quite cheerful as he framed this indictment of the life of a general practitioner in a poor neighbourhood, but his companion frowned and shook his head impatiently. "You are still re-acting to the pernicious influences of that damnable war," he said. "You´re hankering after the intoxication of saving wounded under fire; exciting stunts of that sort; Sbana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus. You´ve got to learn to be content with Jordan. Risk your life in more homely ways saving the sick in Peckham. Same thing, really; only you don´t get orders for it. And of course ..." he hesitated, pushed up his gold-rimmed spectacles, and stared hard at his friend and paid assistant. "Any way, what is it you´re hankering after, my good chap?" he concluded. Woodroffe looked critically round the little room, and then at Somers glowering down at him from the hearthrug. "More space," he said briefly; "and more ..." He seemed to jib at the word that was obviously in his mind. "More beauty," Somers suggested. "If you like," Woodroffe agreed carelessly.
