Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Spinster a Novel Wherein a Nineteenth, Century Girl Finds Her Place, in the Twentieth The New York and Montreal Express regularly pulled into the Tory Hill station at the same hour in 1892 that it pulls in at now: which means that there was never much left of the night when passengers had descended from the train, ascended the stage, and been driven (some three miles) through the two long straggling villages of the New Street and the Old Street. The sleeper, in short, favors Tory Hill at half-past one A.M. It was on time, and into the rainy blackness two ladies in bustled black henrietta dresses and large crape veils climbed down, followed by a thin, fair, stooping gentleman with a black band on his sleeve, and two children, whom other parents of that day might have dressed in mourning, but their father and aunts had not. The serious, plain, but fresh-complexioned girl of nine wore a box-pleated cashmere dress of dark crimson: the good-looking little boy had on full dark-blue kilts, and a Scotch cap on his head. They had come almost direct from their mother´s funeral to live henceforth with her two single sisters in the ancestral Vermont village where those sisters owned a small brown house which they called Wakerobin.
