Evan Weir's pipe was foul; he threw it down with an exclamation of disgust. Its foulness was symbolic; everything was out of kilter. He looked at the picture he had been painting for a week-rotten! It was a still life; a broken jar and three books on a rag of Persian embroidery. Picking up his pen-knife he deliberately cut the canvas out of the stretcher, and setting a match to a corner of it, tossed it in the empty stove. He paced up and down the room wondering what the devil was the matter with him; he couldn't work; he couldn't read; his friends bored him; life was as flat as beer dregs. His attic studio was lighted by a dormer window at a height convenient to receive his elbows on the sill. He came to a pause in that position morosely staring out on Washington Square basking in the summer morning sunshine. In some occult way the gilding on the green leaves stabbed at his breast and accused him of futility.

Excerpt from The Fur Bringers: A Story of the Canadian Northwest The firm of Minot Doane sat on the doorsill of its store on Lake Miwasa smoking its after-supper pipes. It was seven o'clock of a brilliant day in June. The westering sun shone comfortably on the world, and a soft breeze kept the mosquitoes at bay. Moreover, the tobacco was of the best the store afforded; yet there was no peace between the two. They bickered like schoolboys kept indoors. "How many link-skins in the bale you made up today?" asked Peter Minot. "Three-seventy-two," his young partner answered in a surly tone that was in itself a provocation. "I made it three-seventy-three," said Peter curtly. "What's the difference?" demanded Ambrose Doane. "Seven dollars," said Peter dryly. "Well, you can claim the extra one, can't you," snarled Ambrose, "and make an allowance if it's found short?" "That's not the way I like to do business!" "Too bad about you!" The older man frowned darkly, clamped his teeth upon his pipe, and held his tongue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
