Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Standpatter: A Chronicle of Democracy It was Bettina Brigham who called a halt. Her three companions looked on wonderingly as that energetic young woman, whose strong guiding hand and quick perceptions had brought them safely up the difficult incline, swung back the door of the limousine and stepped lightly to the ground.

She had a briskness that was half a challenge, an effervescence that had to bubble up and occasionally spill over in order to prevent an explosion. She was now scrutinizing for the hundredth time the rough pencil sketch of the route they had just traversed. "This is surely Aztec Lodge," she said, as she glanced at the arched portal and again at her notes. "Who ever saw directions so lucid as these?" And she shrugged her shoulders significantly. "Who ever saw directions so deucedly stupid, I should say, Betty, begging your pardon." Ward Percival had followed Miss Brigham and was peering over her shoulder, and it was he who thus gave vent to his disgust. "Listen," entreated the girl.

The country place of the Honorable Geoffrey Canterbury, I´ll be bound; and thereby hangs a tale." "A Canterbury tale, of course, Ward?" "Naturally; but isn´t it queer that I didn´t think of its being Canterbury´s big alfalfa ranch? He was in the office not a week ago and telling us about it.
