About this book
A June afternoon in the market-place at Trieste starts this short story of five chapters by David Christie Murray, printed in 1882 in his collection Coals of Fire and Other Stories. William Holmes Barndale, a bearded Englishman, is dozing over iced beer when a young woman who knows him passes with her parents, and soon her brother Jimmy wakes him with a poke from a walking-stick. The family is bound for Constantinople on the evening boat, and Barndale, hiding how fast his heart beats, says he is going there too.
