Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Somehow Good A Returned Traveller. Nemesis in Livermore´s Rents, 1808. Extravagance, and No Cash. A Pawned Watch, and a Residuum of Fourpence An exceptionally well-built man in a blue serge suit walked into a bank in the City, and, handing his card across the counter, asked if credit had been wired for him from New York. The clerk to whom he spoke would inquire. As he leaned on the counter, waiting for the reply, his appearance was that of a man just off a sea voyage, wearing a suit of clothes well knocked about in a short time, but quite untainted by London dirt. His get-up conveyed no information about his social position or means. His garments had been made for him; that was all that could be said. That is something to know. But it leaves the question open whether their wearer is really only a person in decent circumstances - one decent circumstance, at any rate - or a Duke. The trustworthy young gentleman in spectacles who came back from an authority in the bush to tell him that no credit had been wired so far, did not seem to find any difficulty in affecting confidence that the ultimate advent of this wire was an intrinsic certainty, like the post. Scarcely, perhaps, the respectable confidence he would have shown to a real silk hat - for the applicant´s was mere soft felt, though it looked new, for that matter - and a real clean shirt, one inclusive of its own collar and cuffs. Our friend´s answered this description; but then, it was blue. However, the confidence would have wavered under an independent collar and wristbands. Cohesiveness in such a garment means that its wearer may be an original genius; compositeness may mean that he has to economize, like us.
