Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Week in Killarney We have barely crossed the threshold of the Victoria Hotel when we meet her. She comes toward us across the hall with the prettiest air of surprise imaginable and the daintiest smile. "Why, it is you, Muriel!" says my wife, going up to her and embracing her warmly. "What a comfort to meet a friend the very first thing!" "For me it will be the very last thing," returns Miss Kingsley. "Just to think of it! We have been here only two days, and now auntie has had a telegram recalling her to England. This very evening we must go, and we have seen nothing - nothing! Isn´t it cruel? Of course I must go with her. I dropped a little tiny hint about staying here and finishing my visit without her, but" - here she pauses, laughs, and throws up her hands and eyes with a quaint assumption of the acutest horror - "she was all that way," she says, and laughs again. There is something infectious in her laughter; we both join in it, though, if we were subjected to a cross-examination, we could not perhaps say why. Surely, as we look at her, we know in our souls her aunt is right. "This lovely Killarney," she goes on, in her slow, sweet fashion, "I have seen only two or three bits of it, but it seems all like a tender dream. And now it will be more a dream than ever, as we must leave to-night. And now, too, when you and" a swift glance at me, and a swifter smile, "have just come." At this piteous speech, Carrie, who is governed by an impulsive genius, turns to me. "Why couldn´t she stay with us, George?"
