Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Philip´s "Somewhat back from the village street, Stands the old-fashioned country seat; Across its antique portico Tall poplar trees their shadows throw." The knocker was muffled on Dr. Upham´s door; the windows of the second story were all closed tight against the light of the dim and hazy autumn afternoon; the hall, the parlor, the dining-room, the Doctor´s study, were all vacant; the servants, in their end of the house, went through their work cautiously, and talked in lowered tones; occasionally, from the further end of the garden, there came the shout of a child at play - and then the sharp, low reprimand of the attendant charged with the business of keeping him as far away from the house and as quiet as he could be kept. He was a small, delicately-made child, with yellow curls down to his waist; and his nurse was a dull, discontented-looking German woman, who knit, and scolded, and scowled, at one and the same time. The boy shouted, laughed, swung himself from round to round of the arbor that supported the old grape-vine, showered the dead leaves and the ripe fruit on his nurse´s head, gambolled with the dog, pelted and scared the pigeons on the eaves - quite careless of the fact that in the house, in a very dark and silent room up stairs, his mother lay dying - agonizing with the thought of leaving him.
