Angela's Business begins: Being an author actually at work, and not an author being photographed at work by a lady admirer, he did not gaze large-eyed at a poppy in a crystal vase, one hand lightly touching his forehead, the other tossing off page after page in high godlike frenzy. On the contrary, the young man at the table yawned, lolled, sighed, scratched his ear, read snatches of Virginia Carter's Letters to My Girl Friends in the morning's Post, read snatches of any printed matter that happened to be about, and even groaned.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
