Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories Without Tears Mr Wilfred Sandys, assistant master at "Sunniholme," had a small sitting-room assigned to him at the top of the house. It was rather a dark and sullen little room, furnished principally with what had been left over. Against one of the walls stood a cottage piano in light oak, bearing the name of an unknown German maker; its inward parts were so full of wickedness that it had long before retired from active service. Piano was a courtesy title - the thing was a sideboard really. Over the mantelpiece was a gas-bracket. The gas had been cut off from it in order (as Mr. Worthy pointed out) to avoid accidents. The room was illuminated in the evening by a small lamp when Emma remembered it. When Emma forgot it, it was idle to have recourse to the bell-pull, though it was a tasteful bell-pull. The bell itself had been removed because (as Mr. Worthy explained) you cannot have the maid-servants kept for ever running up and down stairs; this, I think, cannot be gainsaid. In fact, there was very little in the room that really worked - except Mr. Wilfred Sandys. The supper-tray of Mr. Wilfred Sandys stood on the piano.
