Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady of Kingdoms "Well, you can´t get a word out of her," Mrs. Wallis said in an accent compounded equally of virtuous disgust and balked curiosity. "No matter what you say to her. She says the child´s hers, and who the father is ain´t nobody else´s business. And if anybody thinks they can go do any better, they´ve got my permission to try." Mrs. Wallis´s hard sharp black eyes, set high in her flat toad-like head, snapped a challenge to the three women who sat about the bed. With a double motion that was habitual to her, she fluffed up with one hand her mat of thickly-curled artificial hair and pushed down with the other a perpetually obtrusive corset-steel. "There ain´t a drop of shame in her anywhere as far as I can see," she added irritably, turning to the woman who lay on the bed. Mrs. Drake, to whom Mrs. Wallis addressed this last remark, emitted nothing beyond a nonplussed, "You don´t!" "Who´d have thought Gert Beebee would ever come to this pass?" - Mrs. Tubman took it up. Mrs. Tubman was a pasty, bulging, fatly-shapeless woman with one fixed dull eye and one roving bright one. "Why, I used to think she was a real clever little girl." "She was," Mrs. Drake answered. "Smart as a whip, and bright as a dollar." She added after a pause, "Southward always said she liked her better´n most any girl ´cept Hester when they was in school together." No one replied for a moment. And in that instant, the same expression dropped a non-committal curtain over the features of Mrs. Drake´s guests.
