"Suit-case in one hand, umbrella in the other, he sped along the corridor to the elevator-shaft, arriving in time to catch a glimpse of the lighted roof of the cage sliding into depths below.“Down!” he shouted; but the glimmering cage disappeared, descending until darkness enveloped it.Then the young man jammed his hat on his head, seized the suit-case and umbrella, and galloped down the steps. The spiral marble staircase echoed his clattering flight; scrub-women heard him coming and fled; he leaped a pail of water and a mop; several old gentlemen flattened themselves against the wall to give him room; and a blond young person with pencils in her hair lisped “Gee!” as he whizzed past and plunged through the storm-doors, which swung back, closing behind him with a hollow thwack."

AT ten minutes before five in the evening the office doors of the Florida and Key West RailwayCompany flew open, and a young man emerged in a hurry.Suit-case in one hand, umbrella in the other, he sped along the corridor to the elevator-shaft, arriving in time to catch a glimpse of the lighted roof of the cage sliding into depths below."Down!" he shouted; but the glimmering cage disappeared, descending until darkness envelopedit.Then the young man jammed his hat on his head, seized the suit-case and umbrella, and gallopeddown the steps. The spiral marble staircase echoed his clattering flight; scrub-women heard himcoming and fled; he leaped a pail of water and a mop; several old gentlemen flattened themselvesagainst the wall to give him room; and a blond young person with pencils in her hair lisped "Gee!"as he whizzed past and plunged through the storm-doors, which swung back, closing behind himwith a hollow thwack.Outside in the darkness, gray with whirling snowflakes, he saw the wet lamps of cabs shining, andhe darted along the line of hansoms and coupés in frantic search for his own."Oh, there you are!" he panted, flinging his suit-case up to a snow-covered driver. "Do your bestnow; we're late!" And he leaped into the dark coupé, slammed the door, and sank back on thecushions, turning up the collar of his heavy overcoat.There was a young lady in the farther corner of the cab, buried to her nose in a fur coat. Atintervals she shivered and pressed a fluffy muff against her face. A glimmer from the sleet-smearedlamps fell across her knees.Down-town flew the cab, swaying around icy corners, bumping over car-tracks, lurching, rattling, jouncing, while its silent occupants, huddled in separate corners, brooded moodily at their respectivewindows.Snow blotted the glass, melting and running down; and over the watery panes yellow light fromshop windows played fantastically, distorting vision.Presently the young man pulled out his watch, fumbled for a match-box, struck a light, andgroaned as he read the time.

THE servants had gathered in the front hall to inspect the new arrival-cook, kitchen-maid, butler, flanked on the right by parlor-maids, on the left by a footman and a small buttons.The new arrival was a snow-white bull-terrier, alert, ardent, quivering in expectation of a welcome among these strangers, madly wagging his whiplike tail in passionate silence.When the mistress of the house at last came down the great stone stairway, the servants fell back in a semi-circle, leaving her face to face with the white bullterrier."So that is the dog!" she said, in faint astonishment. A respectful murmur of assent corroborated her conclusion.The dog's eyes met hers; she turned to the servants with a perplexed gesture."Is the brougham at the door?" asked the young mistress of the house.The footman signified that it was."Then tell Phelan to come here at once."Phelan, the coachman, arrived, large, rosy, freshly shaven, admirably correct."Phelan," said the young mistress, "look at that dog."The coachman promptly fixed his eyes on the wagging bull-terrier. In spite of his decorous gravity a smile of distinct pleasure slowly spread over his square, pink face until it became a subdued simper."Is that a well-bred dog, Phelan?" demanded the young mistress."It is, ma'am," replied Phelan, promptly."Very well bred?""Very, ma'am."

A collection of short stories by Robert W. Chambers, author of The King in Yellow. A collection of light romantic tales in which Chambers' love of fishing and hunting and natural scenery prevails. The stories are all set in America. A Young Man in a Hurry brings together some of Chambers' most engrossing shorter pieces. Robert William Chambers was an American artist and fiction writer. His first novel, In the Quarter was published in 1887 but his most famous, and perhaps most meritorious, effort is The King in Yellow, a collection of Art Nouveau short stories. E. F. Bleiler describes it as one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction.It was also strongly admired by H.P. Lovecraft and his circle. Chambers returned to the weird genre in his later short story collections The Maker of Moons, The Mystery of Choice and The Tree of Heaven, but none earned him as much success as The King in Yellow. Some of Chambers's work contains elements of science fiction, such as In Search of the Unknown and Police!!!, about a zoologist who encounters monsters. Chambers later turned to writing romantic fiction to earn a living and according to some estimates, had one of the most successful literary careers of his period, his later novels selling well and a handful achieving best-seller status.
