Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. THE COACH OF CONCORD. ?Well? What can I do for you?? The speaker?a scrubby little man?wheeled in the rickety office chair to regard some one hesitating on his threshold. The tones were not agreeable; the proprietor of the diminutive, run?down establishment, ?The St. Cecilia Music Emporium,? was not, for certain well defined reasons, in an amiable mood that morning. He had been about to reach down for a little brown jug which reposed on the spot usually allotted to the waste paper basket when the shadow of the new?comer fell obtrusively, not to say offensively, upon him. It was not a reassuring shadow; it seemed to spring from an indeterminate personality. Mr. Kerry Mackintosh repeated his question more bruskly; the shadow (obviously not a customer,?no one ever sought Mr. Mackintosh?s wares!) started; his face showed signs of a vacillating purpose.
