Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Daughter of a Star With a sense of reluctance which, in its degree at least, surprised himself, John Stafford, having dismissed his hansom, - for it was before the day of taxicabs, and the great vogue of motoring was just beginning, - mounted the steps of a small but very smart house in London, which was the final destination of a journey that had brought him across Europe. The servant who opened the door did not know him, and was doubtful whether Mrs. Lestrange would receive visitors. It was her hour for driving - she was just going out. "Take my card to Mrs. Lestrange. I am sure she will see me," Stafford told him quietly, but in a tone which admitted of no further demur; and, after a doubtful glance at the tall, well-knit figure, the man showed him up-stairs and into the drawing-room. There followed an interval in which Stafford looked around the room with its luxurious furnishings, and felt as if three years were blotted out, and he had been there only the day before, so familiar was every detail.
