Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pretender: A Story of the Latin Quarter
But, after all, I went on to reflect, money is not so utterly a nuisance. Pleasant indeed to think that when most are pondering over the problem of the per manent meal - ticket, you are yourself well settled on the sunny side Of Easy Street. Poets have piped of Ar cady, have chorused of Bohemia, have expressed their enthusiasm for Elysian fields, but who has come to chant the praise of Easy Street? Yet surely it is the kindliest Of all? Behind its smiling windows are no maddening constraints, no irking servitudes, no tyranny Of time. Just sunshine, laughter, mockery Of masters - Oh, a thousand times blessed, golden, glori ous Easy Street!
Here I lighted a fresh cigarette and settled more snugly in that chair Of kingly comfort.
