About this book

Francis Hopkinson Smith is the author of Peter, which has the subtitle A Novel of Which He is Not the Hero. Peter is shown poring over his ledger one dark afternoon in December, his bald head glistening like a huge ostrich egg under the flare of the overhead gas jets. Rooms are described with a red carpet covering both rooms, red table covers, red damask curtains and a big open-hearth Franklin, full of blazing red logs, with brass andirons and fender.

The text says that these were the kind of outbursts Peter loved, and that it was only when Felicia was about to come over to your way of thinking that she talked like this. Jack breaks the seal on a despatch and says it is signed T. Ballantree, a man he never heard of before, who wants him to meet him at the Astor House to-day at eleven o'clock.
