Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transplanted Manners: A Novel A truer description of the favourable situation of Pension Irgendwo than newspaper advertisements are apt to give of hotels and boarding-houses. "Pension" sounds more romantic than "Boarding-house," and this specimen certainly deserves a romantic name. It was "like a story," coming in, as I did this afternoon, just at the hour when the people were taking their afternoon coffee. Before me was a large, old-fashioned, yellow house, standing in a shady garden, surrounded by high walls, with tall green gates opening on the street. There were three little arbours in sight from the gate, each one filled with a group of ladies, sitting with their cups in front of them upon the round tables, and farther off, in the shrubbery, I could catch glimpses of children in white dresses, flitting to and fro. The house is full, and I came just in time to secure the last room, a corner chamber in the third storey, with windows south and east, and a beautiful view in both directions. My bed, prettily draped with white dimity, stands in a deep alcove, and curtains of flowered chintz shut off the alcove from the chamber.
