Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hugh Gwyeth: A Roundhead Cavalier Up in the tops of the tall elms that overshadowed the east wing of Everscombe manor house the ancient rooks were gravely wrangling. A faint morning breeze swept the green branches and, as the leaves stirred, the warm September sunlight smiting through fell in flakes of yellow on the dark flagstones of the terrace below. For a moment Hugh Gwyeth ceased to toss up and catch the ball in his hand, while he stood to count the yellow spots that shifted on the walk. Eight, nine, - but other thoughts so filled his head that there he lost count and once more took up his listless tramp. Off to his left, where beyond the elms the lawn sloped down to the park, he could hear the calls of the boys at play, - his Oldesworth cousins and Aunt Rachel Millington´s sons. The Millingtons had come to Everscombe a week before out of Worcestershire, where the king´s men were up in arms and had plundered their house.
