Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fortune of Christina M´nab "I hear they´re cheap at present," remarked Colin. "I can pay top price," retorted Christina, flushing a little. They both belonged to trade, these young people. "And you´ll no be engaged to me any longer, I suppose?" Colin made the remark without any emotion. Christina gave a snort of disdain. " ´Deed, Sandy," she cried, " does a lassie with eighteen thousand a year marry an electrical engineer?" "Naw," said Colin judicially, "she does not." He added as an afterthought: "I´m no sure I´d think much of her if she did - at least until she had had a try for something better." Christina´s sniff was a triumph of art in its own way, a very gem amongst sniffs, for it expressed accurately Christina´s thoughts and her excellent opinion of her own powers, together with a self-confident assurance of her own success - and all this in one sniff, without the clumsy medium of words. "Just wait you and see," replied Colin, interpreting with absolute correctness the thought so delicately conveyed. Christina M´Nab and Colin M´Crae (her hitherto affianced husband) were sitting in the ugly dining-room of an ugly house, in a very ugly town. They sat in the dining-room because the drawing-room was unfurnished - never had been furnished - and all that Christina knew of its habitable qualities was on the occasion of a prayer-meeting which had been held there, and later, during the last three days, when the "corp" had lain within its walls.
