{"product_id":"2940013083684","title":"His Last Bow","description":"It was nine o'clock at night upon the second of August--the most\u003cbr\u003eterrible August in the history of the world.  One might have thought\u003cbr\u003ealready that God's curse hung heavy over a degenerate world, for there\u003cbr\u003ewas an awesome hush and a feeling of vague expectancy in the sultry and\u003cbr\u003estagnant air.  The sun had long set, but one blood-red gash like an\u003cbr\u003eopen wound lay low in the distant west.  Above, the stars were shining\u003cbr\u003ebrightly, and below, the lights of the shipping glimmered in the bay.\u003cbr\u003eThe two famous Germans stood beside the stone parapet of the garden\u003cbr\u003ewalk, with the long, low, heavily gabled house behind them, and they\u003cbr\u003elooked down upon the broad sweep of the beach at the foot of the great\u003cbr\u003echalk cliff in which Von Bork, like some wandering eagle, had perched\u003cbr\u003ehimself four years before.  They stood with their heads close together,\u003cbr\u003etalking in low, confidential tones.  From below the two glowing ends of\u003cbr\u003etheir cigars might have been the smouldering eyes of some malignant\u003cbr\u003efiend looking down in the darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA remarkable man this Von Bork--a man who could hardly be matched among\u003cbr\u003eall the devoted agents of the Kaiser.  It was his talents which had\u003cbr\u003efirst recommended him for the English mission, the most important\u003cbr\u003emission of all, but since he had taken it over those talents had become\u003cbr\u003emore and more manifest to the half-dozen people in the world who were\u003cbr\u003ereally in touch with the truth.  One of these was his present\u003cbr\u003ecompanion, Baron Von Herling, the chief secretary of the legation,\u003cbr\u003ewhose huge 100-horse-power Benz car was blocking the country lane as it\u003cbr\u003ewaited to waft its owner back to London.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079179026672,"sku":"2940013083684","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013083684_p0.jpg?v=1763576323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013083684","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
