Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Feet of Clay Nearly half a century ago in one of these lovely, lonely places stood the cottage of Ruthie Clucas. Like all Manx cottages it was built of unhewn stones roughly mortared together, and whitewashed. But the scarlet fuchsia clambered all over the walls, and hedged in a pretty garden, where the delicate veronica grew to luxuriant bushes, and the lily-like amaryllis and the white odorous everlastings and the fragrant rosemary poured lavishly their delightful incense. The interior of the cottage was that of the Manx fisher-farmer. On the wide hearth there was a fire of peats, and up the chimney a huge chain with hooks on which to hang the pans above the low fire. The deal tables and chairs and the three-legged stools were scrubbed white as ivory. The equally white dresser was gay with cups, and jugs, and basins in bewildering quantity and of the gaudiest colors. Bits of patchwork and pots of geranium and a clean white curtain at the window gave freshness to the room.
