Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Commentary
The old man whose call in life was to warn the public against the dangers of the steam roller, held a small red ?ag in his remaining hand, for he had lost one arm. His brown face, through whose leathery skin white bristles showed, had a certain dignity; SO had his square upstanding figure. And his light grey eyes, with tiny pupils, gazed with a queer intentness, as if he saw beyond you. His clothes were Old, respectable, and stained with grease; his smile shrewd and rather sweet, and his voice - Of one who loved to talk, but whose profession kept him silent - was de liberate and sonorous, with a whistling lisp in it, because he had not many teeth.
