Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mothers-in-Law Little: Mrs. Roper came out of the pension door just as the clock of Sant´ Onofrio struck nine. It was a splendid, golden morning in March, and already the strength of the sun was drawing a cloud of mixed scents from the grilling flowers in the hillside garden The heliotrope that crowned the high walls was particularly fragrant, and Leporello, the pension monkey, who had clambered to the top of the biggest fig tree, had reached over and pulled a tuft of the purple blossom, and was sniffing it ecstatically. Mrs. Roper stood still for a moment at the top of the steps and watched the monkey, who returned her gaze with an irritated chatter and a glare of mingled derision and hatred. Beyond him she saw a vast stretch of fluted or flat roofs, broken by thick clumps of tree-tops, patches of the intensely blue blue of the Mediterranean, black spears that were stone-pines, sheets of flame-coloured or white creepers, trained in the delightful southern way over upper walls, all transfigured by the splendour of the sun.
