Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Two Virtues: A Comedy in Four Acts The Library at Jeffery Panton´s house on Campden Hill. It is a large and handsome apartment, on the ground floor, with books everywhere, all of the heavy and historical order. At the corners, to the right and left, are recesses, lined to the top with books. Close to them, on each side, is a tall, narrow window with leaded panes; between these, and below them, row after row of books. On the top of the shelves are figures of early Chinese gods and goddesses, and Ming heroes on horses. The fireplace is in the centre, to the left; the door is on the opposite side. Wherever there is space on the walls, there are shelves, and books. At the back are two large oblong tables, covered with pile upon pile of MS. neatly tied and docketed, and yet in some confusion; on one of these tables is a large stand-up writing-desk. In the angle to the right, well in evidence, is a full-length portrait of a pretty young woman. By its side, on a pedestal, under a glass case, a glove and a withered rose lie on a velvet cushion.
