Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Broad Walk Anthony told us he never really believed in the existence of his Russian cousins until he one day at Crayford Manor came upon some historical documents - family history in her prettiest form - the home letters of his great-great-grandaunt Sylvia. Those dear letters stimulated both his curiosity and his affection. To cut a long story short, he was not happy until he had found us out. He came, saw, conquered! We seem, after barely a fortnight´s acquaintance, to have known each other all our lives. And an Englishman too! A thoroughbred Englishman, our accepted type of restrained gentility, of perfect manners, and a coldness equal to the polar bear´s swimming-tank up at Spitzbergen. Never say you know a man until you have met him! Of course, we have always heard of our distant connections in England. The extravagant Count, in a fit of family affection, visited the Manor House in the early forties. He was well received by Anthony´s grandfather - compliments rolled between the two worthy gentlemen; however, they never repeated their efforts.
