A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Number 21 Button woodS treet toN umber 124 New Market, where there was a nice brick house of three stories in height, as opposed to the one of two stories which they now occupied. Buttonwood Street, at the point which they were now located, was rapidly being surrounded by business conditions which were unbearable; and New Market at the point he had picked on was removed, at least a score of blocks, from the region which was once so nice but was now becoming so sorrowfully defiled. There was the probability that some day they would come into something even much better than this, but for the present this was sufficient. He was exceedingly grateful. Mr. Henry Worthington Cowperwood was at this time a significant figure tall, lean, inquisitorial, clerkly, the pink of perfection in the niceties of commercial conduct, absolutely practical a man who believed only what he saw, was not at all disturbed about those silly fancies which might trouble the less rational brains of this world, and content to be what he was a banker, or prospective one. He looked upon life as a business situation or deal, with everybody bomas more or less capable machines to take a part in it. It was surprising to him to see how many incapable or unsatisfactory machines there were; but, thank heaven, now that he was getting along fairly well, this was no aflfair of his. At first, when he was much younger he was now thirtysix life had seemed just a little unsatisfactorily organized. But now well now it didnt look so bad. He had nice, smooth, closely cropped side-whiskers coming to almost the lower lobe of his ears, and his upper lip was smooth and curiously long. He had a straight nose of a somewhat longish length and a chin that tended to be pointed. His manner might have been called severe, though really it was more of a cultivated manner than anything else.
