Near fine ivory above black cloth in illus. magenta and mauve dj. 159, [1] p.; 21 illus.; 21 cm. A hoax on Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity Church, New York, by Eugene Fairfax Williamson, in 1880. `On Monday, February twenty-third, a squally morning with a high wind blowing wet snow, the rector was still sipping his breakfast tea when he had his first caller. It was a Mrs. Zickels, clad in a threadbare overcoat and woolen shawl, who left a rickety wagon drawn by an ancient nag on the street. He gathered that she was the wife of a Chatham Street dealer in used clothing. She had come to appraise and to buy Mrs. Dix's wardrobe if the price was right. She had a postcard which she waved as if it were a ticket of admission. Of course it was the work of the same imposter. She retired warily to stand beside her wagon.as another second-hand clothing dealer, Mrs. Lindeman, arrived.' (p. 30) -- `The rector's own world had been unhinged for more than five weeks. One could hardly blame him if a small fraction of the lightness and happiness in his own soul came less from contemplation of the risen Christ than from relief over the imprisoned Gentleman Joe. The splendor of the Easter service was almost matched by the color and luxury of new gowns with a suggestion of the soon-to-be-modish bustle, new hats with brilliant feathers, new men's tailoring beyond the chancel. As always on this great day, the streets outside were choked with broughams and landaus tended by cocked-hatted coachmen who gossiped as they waited their masters' return from worship. At the Tombs a mile to the north, Eugene Fairfax Williamson's sybaritic soul was offended as he sat among pickpockets, pimps and other felons and heard a service read by a threadbare pastor named Wiggins from the Pearl Street Mission.' (p. 144). 1st edition. Binding is Hardcover.
