Our Mr Wrenn
by Lewis, Sinclair
Mr. Wrenn is employed as a sales-entry clerk for the Souvenir and art novelty company. His Job demands eight or more hours each day, but he commits the rest of his free time reading travel books and attending travel pictures at the Nickelorian. All of his drab and dreary life Mr. Wrenn has visions of traveling to a foreign land until one day, surprisingly, the dream comes true. He finds himself roaming uncharacteristically around England attended by a young female artist. When he returns to the Job in New York, he falls in love with a charming girl named Nellie. The untroubled tempo of routine is interrupted when the girl he traveled with in England appears. Mr. Wrenn is surprised but recovers his composure and marries Nellie, ready to surrender his dreams. Please Note: This book has been reformatted to be easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year.
