Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Miss. Graemes The steamer landed Charles Hanbury and his luggage at the pier on Melvin, and from there he drove in a "machine" fourteen miles round to the other side of the island, where the hills look on to the Atlantic Ocean - and here Captain Graeme had said that a boat would meet him. It was a desolate piece of shore-land where the rough country dog-cart and slowly trotting grey mare at length drew up, and the absence of habitations of any sort excused Major Hanbury´s somewhat loosely contrived question, when he got down from the cart and said to the driver, "Is this it?" "Aye, it´s it," said the man laconically. He was beginning to unbuckle the straps of the harness, and presently he led the horse into a rude stable, built just above the high-water mark of the shore, where a great red-brown ribbon of seaweed, dry and crackling, merged itself into the fine, sweet-scented grass of the meadows above it.
