{"product_id":"2940012325181","title":"The Man of the Desert","description":"It was morning, high and clear as Arizona counts weather, and around the\u003cbr\u003elittle railroad station were gathered a crowd of curious onlookers;\u003cbr\u003eseven Indians, three women from nearby shacks--drawn thither by the\u003cbr\u003esight of the great private car that the night express had left on a side\u003cbr\u003etrack--the usual number of loungers, a swarm of children, besides the\u003cbr\u003estation agent who had come out to watch proceedings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the morning the private car had been an object of deep interest to\u003cbr\u003ethose who lived within sight, and that was everybody on the plateau; and\u003cbr\u003emany and various had been the errands and excuses to go to the station\u003cbr\u003ethat perchance the occupants of that car might be seen, or a glimpse of\u003cbr\u003ethe interior of the moving palace; but the silken curtains had remained\u003cbr\u003edrawn until after nine o'clock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin the last half hour, however, a change had taken place in the\u003cbr\u003esilent inscrutable car. The curtains had parted here and there,\u003cbr\u003erevealing dim flitting faces, a table spread with a snowy cloth and\u003cbr\u003eflowers in a vase, wild flowers they were, too, like those that grew all\u003cbr\u003ealong the track, just weeds. Strange that one who could afford a private\u003cbr\u003ecar cared for weeds in a glass on their dining-table, but then perhaps\u003cbr\u003ethey didn't know.","brand":"LivingstonHill Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069272604912,"sku":"2940012325181","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012325181_p0.jpg?v=1763567249","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012325181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
