Half A Rouge
MacGrath, Harold. Grossett and Dunlap 1906. Illustrated by Harrison Fisher. MacGrath, a prolific writer, wrote for newspapers until 1890 when he published his first novel Arms and the Woman. Half a Rogue begins: It was Warrington’s invariable habit-when no business or social engagement pressed him to go elsewhere-to drop into a certain quaint little restaurant just off Broadway for his dinners. It was out of the way; the throb and rattle of the great commercial artery became like the far-off murmur of the sea, restful rather than annoying. He always made it a point to dine alone, undisturbed. The proprietor nor his silent-footed waiters had the slightest idea who Warrington was. To them he was simply a profitable customer who signified that he dined there in order to be alone.Book is in good condition, pages are tight and clean.
