Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Gentleman Juror The fourteenth of February was not a holiday for the employés of Coldart Groolie, wholesale grocers and commission merchants of the City of Compos. The sun, after many days of wary approaches and slowly increasing fervor, once more dared to claim the northern world as his valentine, but his triumphant smile was unheeded by the dozen clerks who posted books, footed long columns of figures, sing-songed the checking of balance sheets, and with never-failing consciousness of the presence of Ralph Sconer, the office chief, hurried or plodded through the work whose strained lines were all in his grasp. But the thirteenth clerk seemed to have broken or cast off his leading string. He was a man about fifty years old, with iron-gray hair and beard. With back half-turned to his unfinished work and with elbow on the desk, he sat looking dreamily through the window. Beyond the end of the opposite building, above the moving drays and the heads of the hurrying passers, he saw a wide reach of the river, dancing blue and bright in the sunshine, gray and silent in the long, irregular shadows of building and wharf and vessel. And beyond the river he saw the white glare and twinkle of sun-lit snow. He was thinking of the shifting colors of the picture and how to catch and reproduce that swift gleaming of the water.
