Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Belgravia, Vol. 29 Another year had gone in gentle tranquillity - a year marked by no shadow of trouble, doubt, or dissension in Joshua Haggard´s household. Oswald had been true to his promise, and had held religiously to his prescribed position as a friend of the family. The simple uneventful life had glided on in its allotted course: the tea-drinkings in the parlour; aunt Judith´s lectures on the economics and duties of existence; dawdling evenings in the wilderness, in which nothing progressed but the gray-worsted stocking on Naomi´s shining needles, which, being only taken off to give place to another stocking of exactly the same shape and colour, seemed to Oswald a fair type of eternity; the Scripture-reading and exhortation at eventide; the homely suppers and friendly partings with Naomi and her father at the little wooden gate, - placid monotonous joys, which had not yet begun to pall upon Oswald Pentreath. If there had been any hollowness in Joshua´s life, any shams to be discovered in his household, familiarity would have vulgarised this quiet home circle; but all here was good and true. Even aunt Judith, though far from pleasant, was at this stage of her existence transparent as the daylight. There were no skeletons in cupboards for the stranger to stumble upon unawares, no domestic dustholes to reveal themselves to the disgusted explorer. Very quiet and peaceful and passionless was this courtship which was no courtship, and yet meant as much to the two actors in the little comedy as if they had been lovers of the most romantic type, and had never opened their mouths save to pour forth a torrent of sentimentality.
