- Release Date: 1916-01-01
- Genre: Short Stories
Classic short story collection, dedicated to the world of short story. For over forty years, in one part of the world or another, old man Marshall had, served his country as a United States consul. He had been appointed by Lincoln. For a quarter of a century that fact was his distinction. It was now his epitaph. But in former years, as each new administration succeeded the old, it had again and again saved his official head.
