Off he goes, limping to bed, just when I need him most."No" - the young man halted, brought his lips together with peculiar tenseness. "I wouldn't have anyone but Ping here to-night, " he finished slowly, "for every shilling I have on earth."And he left off fuming, and began to arrange the room, carefully, bit by bit, standing off to squint fastidiously through his brilliant blue eyes - and whistling softly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
