Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Strugglers: A Novel The Bulkleys had originated somewhere in Massachusetts, but they had belonged to those strata of society whose antecedents remain unchronicled. Peleg L. Bulkley prided himself vaguely on having come from the Bay State (I never knew a State which was not a source of pride to those who came from it); but he left it to his daughters, who had never been in Massachusetts, to supply the local color and details of ancestral history comporting with their present distinction. To his Western experience, which was of too recent date to furnish material for the myth-making genius, he was not allowed to allude; though he was at a loss to understand why. It was impossible for him to comprehend the frame of mind to which a merchant tailor´s business (and a very big one at that) could appear something to be ashamed of, particularly as he well remembered the pride Mrs. Bulkley once took in the huge plate-glass windows and the big pictorial advertisements in the Sunday papers, showing the rapid rise in the world of the man who bought his clothes of Bulkley, and the accumulation of disasters which overtook him who did not.
