Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Witness of the Sun What was one to do with a young girl who sketched ideal heads on her slate underneath half-finished sums in decimal fractions, who altered the profiles of the Roman emperors in her Italian history, and who frankly declared that the unexplained draperies above the figures in the Sistine Madonna reminded her disagreeably of the parted curtains in a coupé-lit? Miss Matilda Herbert acknowledged herself at a loss. She even suggested, on occasions, the advisability of resigning her position as governess in the Demarini household. To this, however, the countess would never so much as give ear. Her good Herbert was as much a part of her daily life as her warm bath or her mandarin orange before breakfast. She had superintended the education of Ilva for ten years, why not for half as many more? Besides, one could easily prevent any tampering with the imperial outlines by purchasing an unillustrated history; and as for the presumptuous criticisms of Raphael, her good Herbert had only to close her ears and affect deafness.
