The Pursuit Of Pamela PDF Download

Excerpt from The Pursuit of Pamela A Hotel Garden at Waikiki, near Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. (Peter Dodder paces back and forth in irritation and quandary. He is 60, fussy and ineffectual. He carries an open cablegram, to which he refers nearsightedly through his spectacles. He takes off one pair of spectacles; squints through the lenses of another pair, puts the first pair on the larger table as enter Janet with a tray. She is 20, pretty and sentimental. He squints severely at her. She sighs, as lackadaisically she starts putting things on the tray from the smaller table.) Peter (sternly). Young woman! Have any ladies come to this hotel to-day, from off the San Francisco steamer? Janet. No, sir. Peter. You are sure? Janet. Yes, Mr. Dodder. (She keeps looking back to whence she came.) Only one gentleman, from on the steamer. (He refers again to his cablegram, changing his spectacles.) Peter. Have any ladies arrived, ostensibly not from off the steamer? Janet. No, sir. Peter (approaching her). I said "ladies" - plural. Now I make my question more specific. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
