Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Governor, and Other Stories The sleek, spirited horses picked their scornful way up the avenue, held in restive subjection by the impassive coachman - stouter than his companion, the footman - fresh-faced, clean-shaven, solid upon the box and apparently oblivious of all greatness save his own, as a coachman should be. The glossy carriage, almost noiseless in its slow motion, held only a grim, gray-haired old man. Many eyes were bent upon him. Pedestrians paused to look at him. The occupants of other carriages broke short their conversations, and turned to catch another glance as he passed. Here and there a hat was lifted. Without change of expression, however, except when the light of personal recognition occasionally lit up his face and he half automatically returned a bow, the tall, thin, commanding, much noticed and most noticeable personage sat almost motionless.
