Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glory Road Only one pair of the twenty-three pairs of eyes aboard the Greyhound bus, had failed to notice the young, slender and definitely attractive girl who boarded the West-bound bus at Tulsa. This in spite of the early hour of two o´clock in the morning, and the moving lights and shadows of that quiet and sleepy period of the night. The one pair of unobserving eyes were those of an elderly gentleman, who had spent most of his seventy-two years on farms in the productive state of Oklahoma. Having lost much sleep while at the bedside of an elderly sister in Monett, Mo., during her last illness, the old fellow had dozed off to sleep after leaving Vinita, and had not aroused until midway between Tulsa and Sapulpa. Then he lay back on the reclining seat and admired the sculptured profile of the girl, who occupied the seat which had been vacant, when he went to sleep. The driver of the bus noticed the slenderness of her gloved hand as she handed her ticket to him. He had glanced a second time at the destination stamped on the small bit of paper; and as he passed along the quiet county highway, he glanced at the pretty face in the mirror above the windshield and continued to wonder why this particular girl should be going to that particular place. The two middle-aged men who occupied the seat nearest the door, silently tried to guess whether the young lady was a "miss" or a recent bride - not that it mattered so much to either of them, for they were both happily married. A prim, business-like lady who, a few years ago had been a buyer for a large department store, was curious about the origin of the girl´s attire, especially the becoming black hat; which seemed to have been especially designed for her. It looked so becoming where it was perched just back of the two heavy braids of dark hair, done in coronet fashion, above the smooth broad forehead.
