Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gallop Among American Scenery: Or, Sketches of American Scenes and Military Adventure No. - State-street - (storm without) - apartment strewed with sundry bachelor appurtenances, fronting on the Battery - a gentleman, in dressing-gown and embroidered slippers, measuring the room with hasty strides - exclaimeth impatiently - North-east by the flags of the shipping in the bay! North-east by the chill rain dashing on the window panes! North-east by the weather-cocks on all the steeples, from St. Paul´s to the dog-vane on the stable end! North-east by the ache of every bone in my body! Eheu! What´s to be done? No going abroad in this torrent. I´ve read all the landlady´s little library. How shall I kill the enemy? I´ll whistle; vulgar. Sing; I can´t. There are the foils and the gloves. Pshaw! I have no friend to pommel or pink; besides, the old lady in the room below, has nerves. Whew! how it pours. I´ll - I´ll - stand and look out into the street. Jupiter! how near the bread-cart came to going over the chimney sweep. Poor Sooty - how he grins! He owes the worm no silk - whatever obligations his rags may be under to the sheep. Poor fellow! Holloa! ho! blackey; catch this quarter; and get you a hot breakfast.
