A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Barry Wicklow sframe of mind. He pushed the window wide and leaned his elbows on the sill. It was a rotten world, he thought, pessimistically. He wondered if the luck would ever change and come his way for a bit. He was fed-up with his own company; he had counted so much on this evening with A gnes, and now she had turned him down because of a confounded headache. It was not much fun going to a theatre alone, and there was nobody else whom he cared to invite. He wished Norman was back in town; he was a bit of an ass in some ways, but they got on all right together in Spite of it. He raised himself and yawned. Should he go, or should he not? The box had cost four guineas it seemed a shame not to use it. He went out of the room and took his coat down from a peg. Might as well go, after all; it would pass the evening, anyway; he let himself out of the front door, slamming it after him. The driver of a taxi hailed him, but Barry shook his head. He could not afford the fare for himself alone; as a matter of fact, he could not afford it for anyone else either, but, of course, they would have had a taxi if Agnes had come. He threw his half-smoked cigarette away angrily. Dash it all! surely she could have managed better than have a headache to-day of all days. He wondered if she really meant to marry him. Sometimes he thought that it was all right and that she did, and then at other times to-night, for instance. He shook his shoulders together with a sigh. He was hanged if he could understand women. He wondered if she had really got a headache or if it were only an excuse with which to put him off. He frovmed as he looked down the grey street. If only he had got Norman smoney! It was the very deuce of a job to live within ones income when ones income was so very much under four figures.
