Sinclair Lewis : Our Mr. Wrenn the Romantic Adventures, of a Gentle Man (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Mr. Wrenn the Romantic Adventures, of a Gentle Man Show is a public personage, who Stands out on Fourteenth Street, New York, wearing a gorgeous light blue coat of numerous brass buttons. He nods to all the patrons, and his nod is the most cordial in town. Mr. Wrenn used to trot down to Fourteenth Street, passing ever so many other shows, just to get that cordial nod, because he had a lonely furnished room for evenings, and for daytime a tedious job that always made his head stuffy. He stands out in the correspondence of the Souvenir and Art Novelty Company as Our Mr. Wrenn, who would be writing you directly and explaining everything most satisfactorily. At thirty-four Mr. Wrenn was the sales-entry clerk of the Souvenir Company. He was always bending over bills and columns of figures at a desk behind the stock-room. He was a meek little bachelor - a person of inconspicuous blue ready-made suits, and a small unsuccessful mustache.
