Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Winterbourne´s Family The old Winterbourne house, one of New England´s ancientry, stood at the west end of Clyde, among other noble structures of an equal age, some of them surrounded by spacious grounds and looking out at the back upon fields sloping down to the Sutton River. Across the river was Sutton itself, a dozing village. Clyde was dignified, reminiscent of more formal customs, and yet tolerant. A few of its estates had reached an admirable degree of cultivation, with terraces, peony-topped, and arbors, grape-entwined. These soberly attested the prosperity of owners who, sharing in some fashion the financial life of the day, perhaps went to the city every morning, and returned at night to the conventional repose of a proper establishment. Others of the old houses, belonging still to the best families, stayed as they had been twenty or more years ago, in an untended ease. The shrubs grew, reached their limit, and were allowed to decline into a natural state. The perennials in green-lichened gardens ran out and were not renewed. This was usually when women-folk had inherited and acquiesced in the unchanged state of things as they had been when there was an active head of the house, they, in their undefended state, being too weak to cope with gardeners.
