Excerpt from The Mirror of MusicA small group of men sat around the fire of a club smoking-room. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning. There was no noise in the club, for every one else had gone home to bed. Outside the traffic had grown thinner. You could only occasionally hear the ringing sound of a hansom cab as it swung along the hard frosty street. Then all would be quiet again.A heavy smell of cigars pervaded the room, and the smoke lay in thin layers at different levels in the air.For nearly an hour the talk had been fragmentary - stray sentences exchanged between puffs of smoke. Now there was a general feeling that, unless something should arise to make the conversation particularly sociable and interesting, it was time to go to bed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
