Near a Whole City Full (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Near a Whole City Full When Philip arrived at the Grand Central Station and left his car, holding fast to his traveling bag in spite of the efforts of a red-capped, importunate person to relieve him of it, he found that his heart was thumping as if he had just finished a hundred-yard foot-race. He discovered at the same time that he was laughing aloud and he brought himself sharply to "attention," and actually stood still for several seconds, determined to assume at least an outward calm before he really set foot in his Mecca, the goal of his ambition, his fairyland - New York.
