Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Red Colonel The Black Lion at Missingham, a village in Bucks, is a small hotel standing on the main road. A black lion, rampant, has creaked there on the weather-beaten signpost since the days of Cromwell. Each morning, a few of the village people go to the hotel and talk over the affairs of the many who are absent. There, you may learn who has run away with his neighbor´s wife, the latest bankruptcy, what the vicar said to the drunken poacher, or Missingham´s private opinion of the Prime Minister and the Governments Foreign Policy. The Black Lion is a building of a dusky, red brick color, with a gabled frontage. The hotel has always prided itself on an ability to offer good accommodation for man and beast but, in these days, the beast does not amount to much. The square stable yard, harbor for gigs and chaises of another generation, is now a garage. Trim young men in uniform, and the scent of petrol, have ousted straw-chewing, lean-jawed men in corduroy and the homely smell of stables. Missingham is a sleepy village with one main street - this last a part of the London road. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
