Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Slave of Circumstances: A Story of New York
Having seated himself on the lowest step as comfortably as he could, he began a careful search of all his pockets and the linings of his coat, and then put what he had found into his hat. There was a broken clay pipe, a piece of a cigar, an old pocket-book, and a dirty visiting card. He threw the first three things into the middle of the street, but held the last for some time between his thumb and finger, studying it.
