Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Stranger Julia Field, fourteen years of age, naturally grew weary of sitting silent, in the twilight, before the smoldering fire. And so, after many impatient sighs, she sprang up, exclaiming, "Will Tom never come!" Receiving no answer, she walked to the bow-window, stared at the white, smooth highway, the lights that glimmered in the neighboring farmhouses, the leaden clouds and the volume of descending snow, strummed on the window pane, cooled the tip of her nose against it, and hummed a little. Finally, deriving no information or comfort from these performances, she returned to the hearth, crying again, "Mamma! Eleanor! Do you think Tom will ever come?" "My dear," replied her mother, with a sigh and a smile, "I have no reason to think your brother will fail to do what he has so often done in wilder weather than this." "But it is nearly dark," urged Julia, "and the snow is a foot deep, and the wind is blowing a hurricane." "He will come before long, no doubt," said Mrs. Field. "But he ought to hurry," persisted Julia; "the weather is horrible, and he knows we are all waiting for that dreadful letter."
