About this book

The Definite Object: A Romance of New York is a book by Jeffery Farnol. The contents list chapters including Of a Mournful Millionaire Who Lacked an Object, How Geoffrey Ravenslee Went Seeking an Object and Telling How He Came to Hell's Kitchen at Peep o' Day. A character called Young R. says he is thirty-five years old and has never done anything really worth while in all his useless life.

Mr. Brimberly takes a cigar very much at random and proceeds to cut it with singularly clumsy fingers, while Young R. watches with lazy interest. M'Ginnis enters through a door that opens suddenly, holding a paper. A figure kneeling just inside the swaying curtains utters a strangled cry and throws up a hand dark with spattering blood.
