The Thirty-Nine Steps
by John Buchan
1 The Man Who Died
I returned from the City about three o'clock on that
May afternoon pretty well disgusted with life. I had
been three months in the Old Country, and was fed up
with it. If any one had told me a year ago that I would
have been feeling like that I should have laughed at
him; but there was the fact. The weather made me
liverish, the talk of the ordinary Englishman made me
sick, I couldn't get enough exercise, and the
amusements of London seemed as flat as soda-water
that has been standing . . .
