Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from With a Silken Thread and Other Stories, Vol. 2 of 3
When he said this, squaring his shoulders and thrusting out his chest, while using that tone of affected humility which is used by some prosperous men boasting of their prosperity under the guise of bewailing their lower condition, Charley wondered - as indeed he had often wondered in these later years how he ever came to love Alick Farmer, false, boastful, cruel, as he had always been from boyhood upward. What had been the spell upon him - why had he not been always able to read him as he read him now, and in that reading to despise and shun him?
