Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Spirit Asleep Pat never forget the day the other boys set on him in the park. He didn´t understand how he could have drawn on himself their combined hostility. He had always got on well with them. In his pride he had imagined he was popular - because he had adapted his personality to their standards: he was as slack in his speech, as careless and uncleanly as they, he condemned what they hated, he extolled what they approved. No casual observer could have picked him out from the others; from Tiger or Hadley Rowe or Curly, from Bill or Jem or Micky. Yet, there was a difference; and he knew it as well as they. He was the son of an educated man; and although his father had descended in the social scale to marry, and had remained ever since at his wife´s level, nothing could alter the fact that Conal Donahue was a gentleman. It might indeed have been a distant glimpse of Julie Donahue alighting from the tram on her way home after a days shopping in the city, and clad in the ostentatious style she favoured for these occasions, that let loose a world of trouble on the unprepared head of her son. They were passing the gloaming hour between five and six on a June afternoon in dangerous aimlessness. The trees in the park held up bare branches to a leaden sky; a faint, threatening flush tinged the western horizon, while the light wavered and took on a sickly pallor.
