Excerpt from The Paths of the Prudent: A Comedy
When the Professor came downstairs again, attired in his flowing black cloak and slouched hat, he found the hall-porter awaiting him at the foot of the stair case. The man bore a card, which he presented to the Professor with a bow.
Beg pardon, sir, but this here card was just left for you by the lady herself, and she says would you mind callin' on her at the address there any time before one o'clock, said the hall-porter.
