Explore "The Sweizer Pump" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE directors' office of the firm of Grennett, Carlew & Company, Ltd., was a handsome apartment, though curiously enough it was Grennett's taste which was responsible for the white and gold panelling of the wall, the harmony of the big grey-blue carpet, and the almost classical dignity of the decorations.
There were people who gave the credit to Carlew, for all that there was of luxury in the apartment, for they argued that a "grump" -- as Grennett was, without doubt -- could not be possessed of an artistic sense.
