The Adventures of Mr. Clackworthy. Christopher B. Booth

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ an otherwise mysterious communication which Mr. Amos Clackworthy received in his morning mail.

      Mr. Clackworthy and The Early Bird were at breakfast when the Japanese boy entered with the postman’s nine o’clock delivery. From under the edge of the white tablecloth protruded the glossy surface of one of The Early Bird’s new twenty-dollar shoes; he glanced at the shining patent leather and grinned.

      “Twenty smackers this time—and worth it,” he said. “You gotta pay real dough for kicks these days, and this pair ain’t gonna get chawed up by no plebeian—that’s right, ain’t it—sodbusters. That Monotrack layout sure has improved th’ transportation situation for yours truly, James; I went down on Boul Mich yesterday, and laid out two thousand iron men for th’ niftiest little racer that ever landed a guy in th’ speeders’ court.”

      Mr. Clackworthy, laughing silently, as he read the contents of one of the envelopes which he had just opened, tossed it over to The Early Bird.

      “Speaking, James, of our most recent adventure,” he said, “you will, I think, find this the crowning touch.”

      The Early Bird picked up the sheet of paper; there was but one typewritten sentence which said:

      It is gossiped in financial circles that Cyrus Prindivale, an exceedingly shrewd banker, has recently endowed the School of Experience with the munificent gift of one hundred thousand dollars.

      Scrawled across one corner in a bold, masterful hand were the letters: “Okeh J. K.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
