Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cab No. 44
Arrived in Brooklyn, and having been put down at a dingy corner on the way up Fulton Street, with the direction to walk straight up the hill, the young man made his way through a street of curious old-fashioned houses, with somber brown-stone fronts and odd-looking wooden steps and handrails, which had been placed upon the stone steps, ready for the Winter's coming snow storms.
One of these was evidently the house for which he was looking, and after a careful scrutiny of the numbers, many of which were painted in white letters upon the faces of the brown-stone steps, he ran nimbly up to the door of a comfortable, roomy-looking mansion and rang the bell.
