Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adventurous Lady Peace and her blessings were flowing already. All the same there was a terrible crush at Belgravia. The congestion of passengers and their luggage at the terminus of the B. S.

Outwardly at least she made no concession to the fact that the Armistice had been signed three days. She chose some newspapers and magazines and paid for them with an air that almost treated money with the disdain it reserved for literature. Then she moved towards a figure of sombre dignity standing between the barrier and herself. "Come on, Pikey", she said. A tall, griffin-like woman, craggy of feature but almost oppressively respectable, followed her mistress dourly.
