Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brave Hearts One August evening in Saratoga a slender, dark-faced man wrote his name in the register of the Universal. "Thought you were leaving us, Mr. Hedley," the clerk said, swinging the huge book around. Then he gave a low whistle, stammered "Beg pardon, sir," and as the guest moved away in charge of a page, muttered: "Adam Begg - Toronto! Their mothers wouldn´t know them apart. Toronto, eh? Gad! the races bring them from all over - Saratoga´s the greatest ever, now!" At seven o´clock Adam Begg reappeared in the rotunda. It was like a beehive; the walls vibrated with the buzz of loud voices, and the lights picked out countless jewels that blared back like angry stars from the bare-shouldered women and white-breasted men. Beyond, on the veranda of the quadrangular court, a band played an exquisite march, but the jewel-bedecked humans drowned it to nothing with their harsh voices.
