A Golden Autumn (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from A Golden Autumn London was very full, Parliament had reassembled after the Easter recess, and all the world had returned to its town mansion with renewed appetite for pleasure and for business. It was a bright morning, and the tide Of life in the streets had not yet reached its height, when two gentlemen nearly ran into each other at the corner Of Charles Street, - one turn ing sharply towards Piccadilly, the other descending the hill at a good pace towards Pall Mall. The former was a tall, large framed man, with a strong face and dark-grey eyes. He had a soldierly carriage and an air Of great distinction. The lat ter was shorter and slighter, with little or no colour, reddish hair, and light eyes. He was clean shaven, and as he smiled with evident pleasure, his rather wide, firm mouth expressed kindness and humour.
