Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Son of the Old Dominion One soft yet brilliant day of spring found Captain Geoffry Flower - as handsome a young sprig of His Majesty King George III.´s Royal Dragoons as one would be likely to see in a month o´ Sundays - riding along the shady road of a wooded ridge on the west bank of the Potomac in Virginia. Cap-à-pie, the horseman was equipped with nice regard for the requirements of military undress in an officer of wealth and station; his rosy Saxon cheeks, his bright blue eyes, his athletic figure, his look of vigorous health; the mounted servant, the pack-horses carrying portmanteaux and sundry rich accoutrements - all these should have ensured their owner against a clouded brow. But to Flower the times were evidently out of joint; his open face wore something nearly akin to a blush, combined with something very like a frown. Here was his grievance.
