Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revolt of a Daughter The Marchesa Bertini, in her plain, black silk gown and lace fichu, and on her dark brown hair the square of lace which suggested a widow´s cap, was receiving visitors at her old home, "Wald-stein," after twenty-two years of absence in Europe. The marchesa had her own delightful way of doing everything, and in making tea her manner was to sit before the samovar, holding a cup in her left hand while her right was extended in greeting to the last comer to whom she listened, asking all sorts of questions, regaling him or her in turn with an account of herself. If she found a moment to pour out the tea, she was certain to make such long pauses between the samovar and the teapot, the lemon and the sugar, that any one athirst would have fainted in sight of the promised land, and, even in gaining it, would have been likely to find the cheering cup rather cold.
