Sinopsis

Well, it?s come! Uh-huh! And sudden, too, like I knew it would, if it came at all. No climbin? the ladder for me, not while they run express elevators. And, believe me, when the gate opened, I was right there with my foot out. It was like this: One mornin? I?m in my old place behind the brass rail, at the jump-end of the buzzer. I?m every-body?s slave in general, and Piddie?s football in particular. You know-head office boy of the Corrugated Trust. That?s description enough, ain?t it? And I?d been there so long-Honest, when I first went on the job I used to sneak the city directory under the chair so my toes could touch. Now my knees rub the under-side of the desk. Familiar with the place? Say, there are just seventeen floor cracks between me and the opposite wall, it?s fifty-eight steps through into Old Hickory?s roll-top and back, and the ink I?ve poured into all them desk-wells would be enough to float a ferry-boat.
