Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Jilt and Other Stories It was a summer afternoon; the sun shone mellow upon the south sands of Tenby; the clear blue water sparkled to the horison, and each ripple, as it came ashore, broke into diamonds. This amber sand, broad, bold, and smooth as the turf at Lord´s - and, indeed, wickets are often pitched on it - has been called ´Nature´s finest promenade;´ yet, owing to a counter attraction, it was now paraded by a single figure - a tall, straight, well-built young man, rather ruddy, but tanned and bronzed by weather; shaved smooth as an egg, and his collar, his tie, and all his dress very neat and precise. He held a deck glass, and turned every ten yards, though he had a mile to promenade. These signs denoted a good seaman. Yet his glass swept the land more than the water, and that is not like a sailor. This incongruity, however, was soon explained and justified.
