Description
Excerpt: THE truck rolled ponderously along the highway, moving slowly in the outside traffic lane. It was late afternoon. A foggy drizzle of rain was bringing darkness earlier than usual. But the truck had not yet switched on its lights. It looked like a tank truck, the sort that carried fuel oil or gasoline. Actually, its purpose was quite different. A sign showed that the truck belonged to an industrial cleaning company. There was a compression engine back of the driver?s cab. Yards of flexible hose were coiled on a rack. The hose was used to suck dirt and soot from the chimney flues of manufacturing plants that burned soft coal in their busy furnaces.
