The paper\u003cbr\u003ehad then gone to press. There was nothing for him, recently promoted to\u003cbr\u003ea sub-editorship, to do after he had passed the column for which he was\u003cbr\u003eresponsible; as a matter of fact he could have gone home before the\u003cbr\u003emachines began their clatter. But he generally hung about, trifling,\u003cbr\u003euntil two o'clock came. On this occasion, the morning of the 22nd of\u003cbr\u003eJune, 1912, he stopped longer than usual, chatting with Hacket, who had\u003cbr\u003echarge of the foreign news, and who began telling him about a telegram\u003cbr\u003ewhich had just come through from Durazzo. What Hacket had to tell was\u003cbr\u003einteresting: Spargo lingered to hear all about it, and to discuss it.\u003cbr\u003eAltogether it was well beyond half-past two when he went out of the\u003cbr\u003eoffice, unconsciously puffing away from him as he reached the threshold\u003cbr\u003ethe last breath of the atmosphere in which he had spent his midnight.\u003cbr\u003eIn Fleet Street the air was fresh, almost to sweetness, and the first\u003cbr\u003egrey of the coming dawn was breaking faintly around the high silence of\u003cbr\u003eSt. Paul's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpargo lived in Bloomsbury, on the west side of Russell Square. Every\u003cbr\u003enight and every morning he walked to and from the _Watchman_ office by\u003cbr\u003ethe same route--Southampton Row, Kingsway, the Strand, Fleet Street.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082180083952,"sku":"2940013090279","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013090279_p0.jpg?v=1763576898","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013090279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
