Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dancer, and Other Tales It was nearly midnight, and three men were sitting in a room at the top of a house in Adelphi Terrace, smoking, after the theatre. One of them, dressed in plain clothes, sat in the window-seat, his profile dark against the sky. The other two sat in arm-chairs on each side of a small table, on which a heavily shaded reading lamp threw a circle of light about a tray of glasses and decanters. Each was in uniform, and one of them, Ivan Fitzgerald, wore the red tabs of a staff-officer. "I liked that funny man," said the other, Tom Cameron ; " he´s a first-class fellow." Ivan nodded, his pipe between his lips. "Delia wasn´t bad," Tom went on, "but she´s nothing to what she was in that last piece of hers. I used to go and see her once a week regularly. But I wonder why she always makes herself such a guy in a black dress whenever she dances now." Ivan laid his head back and blew a ring which drifted sideways across the pale square of the window. "Did either of you fellows know Philip Hazleton?" said Oliver Dane, still watching the London sky from his window-seat.
