Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eight Forty-Five: Extracts From the Diary of John Skinner a Commuter
Mrs. Weston's. When I had thawed my hands by holding them over the gas jet in the kitchen, I built a fire in the range and then went to work on the Baltimore heater. I remember how enthusiastic my landlady was about the Baltimore heater: So much better than an open fireplace, and yet, when the ?ame shines through the isinglass windows, just how cozy! As I lay on my back, trying to heave the grate into place after it had fallen out, I remembered her enthusiasm, but my mouth was too full of ashes for me to express my self clearly about it. I thought, how ever, of several things I would say to her if her husband were not a lawyer.
