Sobre aquest audiollibre
Two men sat at the study windows of the one large, pretentious house on the main street. One was Lawyer Jennings; the other, Dr. Wayne.

That man is a psychological problem, said Wayne. Theoretically he is not strong enough to do a day's work at the rate he is working now, but he does the work of ten men. He lacks physical strength, but he never gives in. No wonder they call him the Soldier Man. Sometimes it seems to me as if he were wound up to go a certain length of time like a mechanical toy-soldier and nothing on earth can stop him. He can't even stop himself. He does go like a soldier, Jennings returned. He holds himself like one, walks as if he were drilling, and runs on the double-quick. They tell me he has had a hard life.
