Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from None So Blind A quiet room, proud and shabby. As though the late Colony, with its hand-made furniture, copied from models of across the seas, the ancient East and the Boston of the clipper ships, and the present world, with its standardized comforts and machine conveniences, had come to an agreement there and, in some way, been welded into one. Hanging above the chimney-piece was a portrait of a woman in her early thirties, the pale oval of a delicate face half hidden behind the folds of a dotted veil. The dark eyes burned steadily through the transparent meshes of the fabric; the firm lips, warm and sensitive, seemed pressed against their filmy covering as if forever trembling on the point of speech. Two women were sitting beneath the drop-light at the center-table. On one side, Mrs. Morland, a small decisive figure, her face buried in the pages of The Boston Evening Transcript. Beneath the knitting in her lap, her dress fell, in decent folds of black, about the Brussells hassock at her feet. Above the sheet she was holding showed white ruching, caught, at the hollowed throat, by a gold and onyx brooch; ruching also about the fragile wrists, and, on the lean hand grasping the paper, a hoop of bluish pearls, encircling the diminutive wedding-finger. Across from her sat her daughter, legs neatly crossed, one hand holding James´ The Ambassadors, the other idly dangling a ribbon marker before the paws of a gray kitten, extended in her lap. As she concluded the final pages she looked up, something of cool whimsicality in her glance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
