Explore "The Sweizer Pump" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE dinner-party at Jack Carlew's flat was more than a social function. It was an indignation meeting of a peculiarly serious kind.
Mr. Sweizer himself was something of a hero, though Jack Carlew gave him little opportunity for occupying the centre of the stage. When Potter -- of Potter, Fielding & Thompson -- arrived, dinner was almost finished. He had just rejected the offer of Carlew's man to accept refreshment when Jack came in.
