Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Christmas in a Palace: A Traveller´s Story "Come out and walk, Mary; we shall have full twenty minutes. The conductor says fifteen, and you may be sure we shall not start till two." Mary was glad enough to join him. As she crowded by the stove and porter´s seat, at the end of the car, she proposed that he should ask little Black Ribbons to join them, and he did so. He went back to the place where Black Ribbons was sitting alone, touched his hat, and said: "My wife is going to take a walk on the platform. Will you not join us?" They had exchanged civilities with Black Ribbons before. But she was shy. They were happy in the joy of their wedding journey. Her seat was "three," quite at one end of the Pullman, and theirs was "twenty-one to twenty-four," quite at the other. Mary had offered her cold coffee at lunch and she had declined. The walk, therefore, was the first successful effort at anything like intimacy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
