Présentation de l'éditeur
One was Pete Quillen, the Pullman conductor. The other was Steve Franklin, the baggage man. Steve was grumbling. I hate them damn corpses, he grunted. They gimme the creeps. Me bein in the baggage service so long, youd think Id be used to em by now. But am I? Not me. They still gimme the creeps. Pete nodded. Me, too. I dont blame you. Sitting in this cold car in the dead of winter with a stiff for company. It snot so bad in the summer, I guess. It sbad enough, said Steve. The conductor nodded. I guess it is. He peered down the length of the baggage car as the train lurched around a curve. What kind of a stiff is this one? he asked. Fellow or woman? Steve shrugged his shoulders. That swhat Im squawkin about. It aint one this trip. It stwo. An old guy and a young girl. The old guy goes off at Bangor. The dame gets switched off and goes through to Greenville. The conductor whistled softly. Two this trip, eh? he murmured. Well, I dont blame you for feeling queer. Two stiffs at once, eh? Seems like youd be used to it though, Steve. Me, I couldnt stand it. But it seems like youd be used to it. Steve nodded. Yeah. Lots of people would think that, I guess.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
