Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Midlanders It was the morning of the King´s Parade when Aurelie was lost to the Holy Family. The Holy Family was on its way from mass at Saint Louis Cathedral, Sister Anastasia leading the sedate procession with the larger girls, and Sister Laure at the rear with the smaller ones. Aurelie was the smallest one of all. She clung tightly to Sister Laure´s skirts, for in the asylum, one saw nothing like this. All Royal Street was nlled with bawling Mardi Gras maskers ringing bells, tooting horns and bumping into the Holy Family as though, on such a morning, there should not be such a thing as an orphan in the whole round world. And on the corner Aurelie, very frightened, looked up into the eyes of an old man who stared down at her with crafty and deliberate intent, and then stumped after the procession on his wooden peg-leg, bound round with a shiny brass band, as if now the matter was settled, and of all the orphans, big ones, middle-sized ones and smaller ones, "light mixed," "dark mixed" - and some almost black - there was just one he wanted, and that was the littlest one of all!
