Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Permanent Uncle The comfortable block of flats, of moderate rental, in which Mr. and Mrs. Henri-Anatole Kingston Campbell had taken up their quarters was known in the neighbourhood as "Newly-married Mansions." Officially it was described as Newlyn House. There was a lift which you had to haul up by tugging at a rope, a little patch of garden outside, and a uniformed porter. It was the hall-porter who had specially attracted Mrs. Kingston-Campbell. Her Christian name was Mary; she was the daughter of a Scotch Episcopalian clergyman and she liked things "nice." With characteristic force of character she induced Henri-Anatole to approve, and the rest was easy. Henri-Anatole - or Tim, for short - always said that it was not her force of character at all, but her tip-tilted nose, that did it. But the result was the same. Besides, having enjoyed a fixed income - from securities - nearly all his life, he had grown pleasantly indolent.
