Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flowing Gold Thanks to you, my first impression of Dallas is wholly delightful." He seated himself in a padded boudoir chair, unfolded a snowy serviette and attacked his breakfast with the enthusiasm of a perfectly healthy animal. "Is this your first visit here, sir?" "Absolutely. Dallas is as foreign to me as Lhasa. It is the Bagdad of my dreams and its streets are strange. Perhaps they are full of adventure for me. I hope so. Anything exciting can happen in a town where one has neither friends nor acquaintances, eh? You are a well-read man, I take it." "I? Why -" "At any rate, you have heard it said that this is a small world." "Yes, sir." "Good! I merely wish to deny authorship of the saying, for it is false. This is a large world. What is more, it is a world full of cities like Dallas where men like you and me, Heaven be praised, have neither friends, acquaintances, nor relatives. In that respect, it is a fine world and we should devoutly give thanks for its Dallases and its - Dalsatians. Jove! This ham is delicious!" The waiter was accustomed to "morning talkers," but this gentleman was different. He had an air of consequence, and his voice, so deep, so well modulated, so pleasant, invested him with unusual distinction. Probably he was an actor! But no! Not in the Governor´s suite. More likely he was one of the big men of the Standard, or the Gulf, or the Texas. To make sure, the waiter inquired: "May I ask if you are in oil, sir?" "In oil? Bless me, what a nauseating question - at this hour of the day!" "´Most everybody here is in oil. We turn dozens away every day, we´re that full. It´s the boom. I´m in oil myself - in a small way, of course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
