Présentation de l'éditeur
Olnet got back to Boston about the middle of July, and found himself in the social solitude -which the summer mates more noticeable in that city than in any other. The business, the hard work of life, was going on, galloping on, as it always does in A merica, but the pleasure of life, which he used to be part of as a younger man, was taking a rest, or if not a rest, then certainly an outing at the sea-shore. lie met no one he knew, and he continued his foreign travels in his )native place, after an absence so long that it made everything once so familiar bewilderingly strange. He had sailed ten days before from Liverpool, but he felt as if he had been voyaging in a vicious circle when he landed, and had arrived in Liverpool again. In several humiliating little ways, Boston recalled the most commonplace of English cities. It was not like Liverpool in a certain civic grandiosity, a sort of lionancf-unicorn spectacularity which he had observed there.
