Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Yellow Ticket: And Other Stories
One night in the early winter of 1912 a young girl was among them, warmly but dowdily dressed, like a well to-do provincial yet she scanned the passers-by as the professionals scan them, and walked slowly as they walk, though it was no time for loitering. The winter had set in early. And already in November the air was keen with frost, and the stars glittered like diamonds.
A young man came hurrying by: as he passed he caught sight of the girl's profile and eyes as she lingered before a shop window. He stopped at once and went over to her.
