Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Women We Marry In the summer of 1899 George Brandon set out for home after six months of wandering and collecting in the interior of Brazil. He felt an impatience to arrive greater than any zest with which he had ever embarked upon an expedition. It hurried him through the jungle and over the mountains; it urged him to pace the deck restlessly after he took the steamer at Colon; it warded sleep from his eyes during the night trip from New York to Boston. On a warm morning in July he drove through the streets of the Back Bay. The barred doors and windows, the blank pavements offered no welcome to the returned traveler. But he looked on them with a kindly eye; these were the streets that Rosamond had been accustomed to tread; Manchester, where she now must be, was only an hour away; in a few minutes, perhaps, he should be talking with her by telephone. He looked at his watch - half-past seven; he had forgotten for the moment at what an early hour the midnight train was accustomed to deposit one in Boston. He should have to wait until nine before telephoning; his impatience culminated at the thought, and he drummed hard on one of his precious small wooden boxes.
