It happened that night that the smoking-room of the club was almost deserted a somewhat unusual thing. We four were its occupants. A ylworth was standing by the fireplace in a moody attitude, with his elbow resting on the mantelpiece; Hervey lay indolently stretched full length on a sofa, smoking a briar-root, his hands clasped behind his head ;and Edmonds and I respectively occupied a couple of comfortable easy-chairs. The evening paper had fallen out of my hands and, like the rest, I was idly thinking of what I know not. From the billiardroom above sounded the muffled tramping of feet, which with the voices blurred and indistinct, and the sound of occasional laughter, alone broke the silence if I do not count Hervey spipe, which had an irritating trick of wheezing violently at irregular intervals.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the often unexpected ways our lives don't unfold as we plan. Four college friends reunite to share tales of how, despite their aspirations, they ended up on paths they never intended to be. Through their stories, the author examines how personal ambition, luck, and even the actions of strangers, can lead us to unexpected challenges and triumphs. By sharing these often humorous and poignant stories, the author shows that our journeys are often stranger than we could ever imagine and that the most significant parts of life arise from places we least expect.
