Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triumph of Mammon Scene I: - The harbour of Christianstadt. In the sound are battleships, cruisers, and other craft, gay with bunting. Villages are visible on the opposite shore, and immediately behind them fields of ripe grain slope upwards to the foot of a low range of hills. In the distance mountains rise: some of the higher summits are snow-capped, and forests hang about their flanks. On the left an esplanade crowded with spectators overlooks a landing-stage. Along the wall are various advertisements and automatic machines. On the right is the royal motor-car with an attendant car behind it, and a first-class army motor in front. Each car is served by two chauffeurs. The Surtur, a declassed battleship, has just entered the sound and come to moorings about three cables' length from the quay: the Harbour-master and a signalman are receiving a flagged message from this vessel.
