With its fast-paced plot, engaging characters, and vivid descriptions of life in a pawnshop, Hagar Of The Pawnshop is a captivating read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
