Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Soundings: Being Castings of the Lead in Shore-Waters of America, Social, Literary and Philosophic I have debated long and often what is the secret of American hospitality. What makes it at once so generous and so gracious, so overwhelming and so delicate, so ample and yet So intimate, so spacious and yet so kindly? No one would ever think that it was given in expectation of reciprocal hospitality on some coming visit to England. There is not a touch of the feeling commemorated in the Victorian saying that in London Society people should get "cutlet for cutlet."
