Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from T Leaves: Being a Collection of Pieces Written for Public Reading It was cold that New Year´s Day. The people in the streets looked as they only can look when Jack Frost, Esq., is at work. All the noses which were not red were blue, saving a select few (mostly Romans and Grecians), which were purple. Teeth held long conversations without any sort of reference to the wishes of their owners. Fingers and toes were either aching acutely, or else indulging in all known varieties of pins and needles, or else perfectly devoid of any feeling whatever. Breath issued out of mouths in clouds of steam until one might have fancied that all the boilers and steam-engines in London had assumed a human shape and gone out for a holiday. Marvellous garments and head-coverings were brought into requisition; astounding fur caps - stupendous coats - gloves that nobody could possibly have shaken hands in - comforters that appeared to wind round and round and round, and to have no perceptible beginning or end. The thermometer was falling fast, and so were the foot-passengers, for the pavement was covered with a coagulated mixture of frozen mud and snow as hard as iron and slippery as glass.
