One of his small feet--his feet were encased in tight,\u003cbr\u003ehigh-heeled, ill-fitting horsemen's boots--usually rested on the\u003cbr\u003efloor, the other swung at the end of his stubby leg slowly in the air.\u003cbr\u003eThis idiosyncrasy his companion, de Spain, had learned to tolerate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Lefever's subdued whistle, which seemed meditative, always\u003cbr\u003eirritated de Spain more or less, despite his endeavor not to be\u003cbr\u003eirritated. It was like the low singing of a tea-kettle, which, however\u003cbr\u003eunobtrusive, indicates steam within. In fact, John Lefever, who was\u003cbr\u003ebuilt not unlike a kettle, and whose high, shiny forehead was topped\u003cbr\u003eby a pompadour shock of very yellow hair, never whistled except when\u003cbr\u003ethere was some pressure on his sensibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe warm sun streaming through the windows of the private office of\u003cbr\u003ethe division superintendent at Sleepy Cat, a railroad town lying\u003cbr\u003ealmost within gunshot of the great continental divide, would easily\u003cbr\u003ehave accounted for the cordial perspiration that illumined Lefever's\u003cbr\u003eforehead. Not that a perspiration is easily achieved in the high\u003cbr\u003ecountry; it isn't. None, indeed, but a physical giant, which Lefever\u003cbr\u003ewas, could maintain so constant and visible a nervous moisture in the\u003cbr\u003eface of the extraordinary atmospheric evaporation of the mountain\u003cbr\u003eplateaus.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079495860464,"sku":"2940013417625","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013417625_p0.jpg?v=1763580979","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013417625","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
