Book excerpt: "Hagar of the Pawn-Shop" is the humorous tale, set in London, about the workers of a pawn shop. Jacob Dix had built a successful pawn shop by driving hard bargains, therefore earning himself a bad reputation as a stingy man. His marriage to his late wife Hagar had given him a son, Jimmy, who at the moment was inclined to avoid his father's presence. Relaxing at home with a friend, he was surprised to receive a loud knock at his door. Surprise however turned to shock when the visitor introduced herself as Hagar Stanley, a name eerily identical to his late wife's maiden name...

It was now two years since Hagar had presented herself to the astonished eyes of Jacob Dix, and one year since the death of the old miser had left her in sole charge of the pawnshop. During all these months she had striven hard to do her duty, for the sake of the man who had taken pity on her poverty. She had toiled early and late; she had neglected no opportunity to make bargains; and she had lived penuriously the meanwhile. All moneys accruing from the business she had paid into the bank; and all accounts of receipts and payments she had placed in the hands of Vark, the lawyer. At any time that Goliath chose to arrive, she was ready to hand over the pawn-shop and property to him, after which it was her intention to leave. As yet she had no idea in her head what was to become of her when the arrival of the lost heir reduced her to the position of a pauper. It had, indeed, occurred to her that it would be best to return to her tribe again, and take up the old gipsy life. On account of Goliath she had exiled herself from the Romany tents: so when he came into his inheritance she would be free to return thereto. As a wealthy man, Jimmy Dix, alias Goliath, would not care to spend his life in roaming the country with vagrants; and thus she would be relieved of his presence. Hagar was getting very tired of the shop and the weary life of Carby's Crescent; and of ten the nostalgia of the roads came upon her. Several times of late she had wished that Goliath would claim his heritage, and relieve her of the irksome task which she had taken on her own shoulders, out of gratitude to Jacob Dix. But as yet the absent heir had not made his appearance. Hagar knew very well that Eustace Lorn was looking for him....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hagar of the Pawn-Shop This particular friend was a solicitor named Vark, who carried on a shady business, in a shady manner, for shady clients. His name - as he declared himself - proved him to be of Polish descent; but it was commonly reported in the neighborhood that Vark was made to rhyme with shark, as emblematic of the estimation in which he was held. He was hated only one degree less than Jacob, and the two, - connected pri marily as lawyer and client, -later on, had struck up a mistrustful friendship by reason of their mutual reputation and isolation. Neither one believed in the other each tried to swindle on his own account, and never succeeded yet the two met nightly and talked over their divers ras calities in the dingy parlor, with a confidence begotten by an intimate knowledge of each other's character. The reputations of both were so bad that the one did not dare to betray the other. Only on this basis is honor possible among thieves.

Book excerpt: Hagar hesitated. The article, notwithstanding its workmanship, its age, and its historical associations, was worth very little. Had its interest consisted of these merely, she would not have taken the key in pawn. But the row of mysterious figures decided her. Here was a secret, connected--as was probable from the remark of the old man--with a hidden treasure. Remembering her experience with the cryptogram of the Florentine Dante, Hagar determined to retain the key, and, if possible, to discover the secret.
