Excerpt from High-Lights
IT was a little room, not more than twelve feet square, up in the topmost cor ner of a big brick building. Out from its one window you looked down into a narrow, dirty court where old orange-peelings and fragments of weather beaten newspaper found quiet refuge, or across to another big brick building, the windows of which were so coated with dust and smoke that it was as impossible to discover what lay behind them as it is to read in certain unrevealing eyes the soul that never shines through.
