Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 37: A Magazine of Literature, Science, Art, and Politics Mrs. Gilbert kept her word, and presented the young men to each of the boarders; but for all that, the talk did not become general. After dinner she went off for a nap, and the young men both followed Mrs. Farrell to the piazza, where they seemed to forget that there was any one else. She was very amiable to both, but a little meek and subdued in her manner; if she encouraged one more than the other, it was Gilbert. She was disposed to talk of serious things, and said that one could not realize the New England Sabbath in town as one could in the country; that here in these hills the stillness, the repose, seemed to have something almost holy about it. Two young girls in gay flannel walking-skirts and branching shade-hats passed Mrs. Farrell where she sat with her court, and she who passed nearest dropped a demure glance out of the corner of her eye, and a demurely arch "good-by" from the corner of her mouth. "What for?" asked Mrs. Farrell, breaking abruptly from her pensive mood. "Those brakes," said the girl over her shoulder, having now got by. "Oh come! Won´t you go too?" cried Mrs. Farrell; "it´s an old engagement. Wait, please!" she called to the girls, and ran in to get her hat, while they loitered down the path. Gilbert walked forward to join them, and Easton stayed for Mrs. Farrell, who delayed a little, and then came out in walking-gear which had the advantage over the dresses of the young girls that foliage or plumage has over dress always: it seemed part of her. "If you´ll be so kind - yes," she said, giving Easton her light shawl, while she fitted her hat-cord under the knot of her hair. "It´s a little coolish sometimes in the deep woods, and it´s best to bring one. Don´t you think," she asked, dazzling him with the radiant, immortal youth of her glance and smile, "that the worst thing about growing older is that you have to be so careful about your miserable, perishable body? I hope I´ve not made you do anything against your principles, Mr. Easton, in getting you to go with me after brakes on Sunday? We don´t often do such things, ourselves." "No," said Easton; "unfortunately. I have no principles on that point. I suppose it´s a thing to be regretted." "Oh, yes indeed," said Mrs. Farrell, earnestly. "I think one ought always to be one thing or the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
