Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Backsliders The Adirondack train departed, disappeared behind a brown hill and left the Reverend John Gray standing on the platform of Pratt´s Junction. He was tall and straight, smooth-shaven, clad in clerical black, and as dignified as a good-looking young man of twenty-five could be with a bulging traveling bag in one hand and a parrot-cage in the other. The bird had not found traveling pleasant, as indicated by his ruffled feathers and still more ruffled temper. He vented his ill-humor by squawking loudly as he swung on his perch giving sidelong glances with malevolent eyes. There was only one other arrival, an energetic little red-haired fellow in a loud plaid suit. He had swung off the rear steps of the smoking-car before the wheels ceased turning, passed a check to the baggage-master, and hurried to a dilapidated stage-coach waiting by the track. He mounted to the front seat, from which he looked down with an air of satisfaction and triumph. "Redny" Feathers was a commercial traveler who prided himself on never "getting left." John Gray had expected some delegation from the church to meet him, but there was not a solitary elder in sight, and he stood for a moment, uncertain, in the shadow of the rusty tank from which the water dripped cool and sparkling in the September sun.
