A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A nn Stone, who went North to find a job. -S he alighted from the passenger end of a rickety ranch wagon one scorching day in the summer of 1916, and regarded without savour the dustcovered town of Los A dios, Texas, where she was to catch the north-bound express. John Blunt had driven her over, and as this was in Texas she did not give John anything, but said good-bye to him heartily and sat down on the station platform to wait. There appeared presently, from the wrong side of the horizon, a cloud of dust that grew into a train. It was an odd-looking train whose passengers kept their heads out of the windows and yelled at random. Further, as speedily appeared, they were all men, dressed just alike in khaki. In short, this was a troop tram. The wheels creaked, and the train stopped. From a forward platform leaped a long and lithe young man with stripes on his sleeve. He gave onejdisgusted look at Los A dios, peered in at the deserted window of the station office, and approached A nn uncertainly. He was always uncertain how to address ladies; and further, A nn did not seem to belong in this landscape.
