Colonel Carter of Cartersville

Colonel Carter of Cartersville is about the adventures of mighty military leader Colonel Carter and his faithful servant, Chad. Excerpt: «The dinner was at the colonel's—an old-fashioned, partly furnished, two-story house nearly a century old which crouches down behind a larger and more modern dwelling fronting on Bedford Place within a stone's throw of the tall clock tower of Jefferson Market. The street entrance to this curious abode is marked by a swinging wooden gate opening into a narrow tunnel that dodges under the front house. It is an uncanny sort of passageway, moldy and wet from a long-neglected leak overhead, and is lighted at night by a rusty lantern with dingy glass sides.»
