Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Susan Hale Those of us, of a younger generation, who were privileged to know Susan Hale intimately, have felt eager to have her letters published, in order that a larger number of persons might share with us the delight of her wit and vivacity, and her never-ceasing good spirits. She was the best of company, and we who sat on her piazza, at Matunuck, listening to her brilliant conversation on men, books and travel, or to her inimitable stories; and others who had the good fortune to travel with her, all bear witness to never having spent a dull hour in her company. It was a liberal education to be with her, for she always inspired the young people about her to caret for the best things. She read a great deal, and in addition to a fine library of old books, she kept up with the best new ones, and her tables were always liberally strewn with current literature in English, French, Italian and German - all of which she read in the original, being a fine linguist, and discussed in a most discerning and appreciative way. She loved the great outdoors, and used to put on a short skirt, arrange her hair in a "pig-tail," don a tam-o´-shanter, and lead the young people off over hills, through woods, and along the shores of the ponds, stopping to pick wild flowers by the way, and often bringing a specimen home to dissect and analyze with the help of "Gray´s Botany."
