Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An English Girl: A Romance She sank down upon one of the hard-seated, fine, mahogany chairs before she uttered the word "How - !" But she was unable to furnish any adjective. The situation was beyond her: she could say neither "How tremendous!" "How terrible!" nor yet "How magnificent!" You may guess at a person´s character very efficiently by considering his first abstract remark upon any given happening. Tall, rather dark, with rounded cheeks, hair arranged high on her head, tight-fitting park dress, and a slow, elastic gait, and with her self-control and her clear lines - she was called Eleanor Greville - you could not deny the epithet "fine" to her, or to the room or to the atmosphere that surrounded her. And four days before she would at least have been ready to give as much insight into her personality: she would at least have been able to utter some moralisation if she had heard that overwhelming wealth had fallen to the share of any of her intimates. But, from the Monday on which the first news of his father´s death had been cabled from across the water, she had seemed to be lifted out of contact with her own personality. The death had been denied on Tuesday, re-affirmed on the Wednesday by indignant Transatlantic journalists, and redenied on the Thursday by vastly more indignant Wall Street authorities, who claimed to have "seen him" the night before.
