Excerpt from Phantom: A Novel My wife has furnished for me the tiny corner-room in the front, and I am now sitting in it. Across the way the village brook murmurs under ash and willow. Below me I hear the tinkling bell of the little shop which my wife tends It does well and supplies our modest demands completely. But I shall have to undertake something besides. First, I have time to spare, and then I have spiritual cravings. Otherwise I am quite content and feel as happy as a king. I smoke a pipe. That costs me virtually nothing, for we have cheap tobacco in the shop. Smoking stimulates the fancy. It also quiets. I get by it, for example, the opportunity to feel a state of agreeable leisure and at the same time to set down my thoughts in writing.
