Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ludovic Zam Affair New York City. Downtown in the neighborhood of that thoroughfare famous for shearing of lambs, baiting of bears, and tail-twisting of bulls. A small office, high up in a tall building. Splendid bird´s-eye view from the single window, of the bricks and mortar in party-wall of adjoining structure. Roll-top desk, file cabinet, revolving book case, and other furniture. Everything littered with papers, manufacturers´ catalogues, samples of goods, and a confusing assortment of miscellaneous articles, both new and second-hand. Without attempting to enumerate their variety, such diverse objects as a brick-carrier´s hod, a lady´s bonnet, a bird cage, some pieces of brass tubing, a cash register, a pair of boxing gloves, a bicycle lamp, and two cans of corned beef, might be mentioned. A thick coating of dust had settled upon everything. The place was apparently a complete stranger to the efforts of janitors or cleaning women. Seated at the desk was a fashionably attired young man, stop-watch in hand, engaged in driving a large wire nail through a block of yellow pine, with the aid of a small tack hammer.
