Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from At the Crossroads The great turning points of life are often rounded unconsciously. Invisible tides hurry us on and only when we are well past the curve do we realize what has happened to us. Brace Northrup, sitting in Doctor Manly´s office, smoking and ruminating, was not conscious of turning points or tides; he was sluggish and depressed; wallowing in the after-effects of a serious illness. Manly, sitting across the hearth from his late patient - he had shoved him out of that category - regarded him from the viewpoint of a friend. Manly was impressionistic in his methods of thought and expression. Every stroke told. The telephone had not rung for fifteen minutes but both men knew its potentialities and wanted to make the most of the silence. "Oh! I confess," Northrup admitted, "that my state of gloom is due more to the fact that I cannot write than to my sickness. I´m done for!" Manly looked at his friend and scowled. "Rot!" he ejaculated. Then added: "The world would not perish if you didn´t write again." "I´m not thinking about the world," Northrup was intent upon the fire, "it´s how the fact is affecting me. The world can accept or decline, but I am made helpless. You see my work is the only real, vital thing I have clawed out of life, by my own efforts, Manly; that means a lot to a fellow." Manly continued to scowl. Had Northrup been watching him he might have gained encouragement, for Manly´s scowls were proof of his deeply moved sympathies.
