Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Giant´s Strength As it was the entr´acte of the opera the lobby of the Casino was filled with a gay and noisy cosmopolitan crowd. All the more, therefore, was it a proof of the celebrity to which Paul Trafford had attained that his entry caused a distinct and general thrill of curiosity. A man who was reckoned the richest in the world could not be other than an object of supreme interest to people whose first cry was money. The fact that he had arrived at Monte Carlo the day before had been as much a topic of conversation as if he had been King Edward or the Czar. Now that he appeared and was recognized, princes, duchesses, and adventurers instinctively fell back a little, making way for him and his party to pass on. Here and there some one claimed the privilege of his acquaintance, and bowed before his nod as before a pope´s benediction. Those who followed in his train were besieged with greetings. Mr. and Mrs. George Trafford were actually cut off from the procession and made prisoners of war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
