Explore "The Yellow Snake" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Mr Narth went up to town by train, his car for the moment being in the grip of one of those mysterious ailments to which cars are addicted. On the station platform he bought a newspaper, though he was not attracted thereto by a contents bill: 'Joyful Hands' Behind Chinese Trouble. What the 'Joyful Hands' meant Mr Narth did not trouble to think. The name seemed a little incongruous.
He was quite ignorant on the subject of China, except that fabulous sums had been made in that country by one who had conveniently died and passed on his fortune to Mr Narth.
