Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Squatter and the Don: A Novel Descriptive of Contemporary Occurrences in California "To be guided by good advice, is to profit by the wisdom of others; to be guided by experience, is to profit by wisdom of our own," said Mrs. Darrell to her husband, in her own sweet, winning way, as they sat alone in the sitting room of their Alameda farm house, having their last talk that evening, while she darned his stockings and sewed buttons on his shirts. The children (so-called, though the majority were grown up) had all retired for the night. Mr. and Mrs. Darrell sat up later, having much to talk about, as he would leave next day for Southern California, intending to locate - somewhere in a desirable neighborhood - a homestead claim. "Therefore," continued Mrs. Darrell, seeing that her husband smoked his pipe in silence, adding no observations to her own, "let us this time be guided by our own past history, William - our experience. In other words, let us be wise, my husband." "By way of variety, you mean," said he smiling. "That is, as far as I am concerned, because I own, frankly, that had I been guided by your advice - your wisdom - we would be much better off to day. You have a right to reproach me." "I do not wish to do anything of the kind. I think reproaches seldom do good." "No use in crying over spilt milk, eh?" "That is not my idea, either. On the contrary, if by ´milk´ it is meant all or any earthly good whatever, it is the ´spilt milk´ that we should lament.
