The cigar was burning unevenly and it smelled as if somebody had set fire to the doormat. He pushed it into his mouth with a hard, thrusting motion, as if he expected his mouth wouldn't want it to go in.

Just finished 'The King in Yellow'. This is more like the Chandler I remember from The Big Sleep, which I read years ago.
It looks like Smart-Aleck Kill contained the less good stories from this book, because the two I've read so far, among the stories that weren't extracted for that collection, have been much better.
