Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Good-Natured Bear: A Story for Children of All Ages They all sat in a circle round the stove, and laughed at the fire. The stove was red hot in some places, so they were obliged to open its door widely, and then every body saw what a bustle the fire was in, puffing and blazing away inside. On the top of the stove was a large dish of stewed prunes, smoking hot, and all round the dish were chestnuts roasting as fast as ever they could roast, and sometimes cracking and flying over the children´s heads in all directions, and sometimes right amongst them, which made a great shouting and scrambling out of the way, and great fun, of course. Besides Dr. and Mrs. Littlepump and the children, there were several others in the room to join in the merriment. First, there was the sweet-voiced Gretchen, with her small but bright brown eyes, the dear pretty nursery governess of Nancy and little Valentine. All the children were so fond of her. She was about twenty years of age, and one of the nicest girls in Frolicksdorf. She was seated in the middle of all the children. Then, there was Lydia, the housemaid, and Dorothea, the cook, and Wallis, the gardener, in a new pair of very large spectacles.
