Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from September The village of Hippeswell lies well in the middle of Suffolk, remote from any large town, and sharing the peace of the district with perhaps a dozen other villages of similar size. It consists of only one long street of houses, most of them cottages, with a few of larger size; and it contains perhaps eight or nine hundred people. Apart from the village, the biggest houses in the immediate neighbourhood of Hippeswell are at some distance, and one or two of them are as much as a couple of miles from the railway station. It was in one of these larger houses that the Howard Forsters lived, in the days before the war; and the Howard Forsters were among the most well-to-do families in Hippeswell. They were childless, and Forster had bought Dene House fourteen or fifteen years before this story opens. He had always been a man of means, but he was also a partner (not a very active partner) in a large firm of shipbrokers, so that he was, at the age of nearly fifty, an extremely prosperous landowner, who preferred to lease his farms rather than to work any of them for himself, and who led the life of a man of leisure. Forster´s wife was a number of years younger than her husband. While Howard spent several days in each month, and sometimes of each week, in town, his wife stayed throughout the summer at Dene House.
