Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Open House Stories are usually told from the standpoint of some one person; you are shown the events as the hero saw them, or the maiden aunt, or the god from the car. The greater part of this story has to be told from the standpoint of the great central living-room of Dr. Caspar Diman´s vast, old-fashioned mansion, for it was there that nearly everything happened. The house with its three acres of sweet, untidy garden had come to him through his wife - her one appreciable contribution to his life, unless a measure of his growth in the way of patience, forbearance and loving-kindness be put down to the credit of the shallow, peevish spirit that called them forth. She might have made a saint of him in time, but, fortunately, she had been taken away after three years, leaving her husband still possessed of a few energetic failings, such as a somewhat arbitrary fashion of making decisions, and a suicidal carelessness about money.
