A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

TlHE light breeze out of the southwest had died away altogether as the sun came down towards the edge of the sea and the broad sails of the Fleur de Lys flapped lazily as she rose slowly and sank again on the long oily swell. The pennant of the Baltimore Yacht Club at the peak curled a little now and then in an aimless sort of way as the masts swayed ever so slightly, but otherwise there was no sign of even a breath of air. It was still and it was also hot. The dead air stagnated over the dead sea and the red sun seemed to send reverberations of dead heat out across its path of beaten and glowing copper that seemed riveted on the slow curves of the sea. A long youth slouching in a low wicker deckchair, feebly clicked the ice in a tall glass and whined peevishly: Jack, Jack! I say, you know, I really cant stand this sort of thing indefinitely. Jack Northrop tamped his pipe with a brown finger and chuckled grimly, Oh, yes you can, my son, because you have to: and the worst is yet to come. He glanced along the sea with a shrewd eye.
