Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hours With Men and Books About twenty years ago there might have been seen flitting about the rural lanes in the neighborhood of Edinburgh, Scotland, a strange, diminutive, spectral-looking being, clad in a motley costume, with his hat hung over the back of his head, his neck-cloth twisted like a wisp of straw, and altogether so grotesque-looking, that you could not help stopping to look at him, and wondering to what race, order, or age of human beings he belonged. As you stopped to look at him, you found him also stopping in suspicious alarm, and looking back at you; and then suddenly, like some ticket-of-leave man, hastily moving on, and, as if fearful of being caught, darting round the first turning, and disappearing from view. What was your surprise when it was whispered in your ear that in this fragile and unsubstantial figure, - this dagger of lath, - this ghostly body resting on a pair of immaterial legs, which you could have "trussed with all its apparel into an eelskin" - resided one of the most potent and original spirits that ever dwelt in tenement of clay!
