Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Percyfield: The Anatomy of Cheerfulness It is with no little satisfaction, I confess, that for the past four months I have been writing "Chateau de Beau-Rivage" at the top of my letters to Charlotte. Charlotte, you must know, is my younger sister, to whom I write about everything that happens to me. She is altogether the most charming little sister that ever a man had, a very proper and sedate young lady when occasion demands; but at heart a jolly youngster, a camarade of the first order. I suppose that´s what Frederic thought, the villain, when he came along and married her. The Chateau is delightful. It is not that the establishment is elegant. On the contrary, it is a great, bare place that might almost be considered uncomfortable by those who love upholstery. But it has a charm about it that you don´t get with newer buildings. The charm has been gathering at the Chateau for upwards of four hundred years. Things that do improve with age seem to improve prodigiously. I wonder how it was with Methuselah.
