Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Louisburg Square Mr. Singleton Singleton, attired in his flowered silk wrapper, reclined at length upon a chintz-covered ottoman and stared passively through the frosted panes of his study window. For a long time he had held himself motionless, with so much unnatural stiffness in his pose and so much unnatural dulness in his eye that he seemed scarcely alive. He was, in fact, a great invalid, a potential paralytic, whose potentiality increased with the passage of years, as if it were a tender flower watered by the curative baths prescribed by his doctors. But he had not always been a passive, white old man, who spoke only at the rarest intervals, and who lived almost a hermit in his house at 8 Louisburg Square. Once Mr. Singleton Singleton had been the flower of Boston´s young men. Educated abroad, he had returned with a reputation for wildness and a large fortune, both guarantees to popularity. The best dancer, the most fluent speaker, possessed of exquisite manners and unlimited means, to mothers eligible, to fathers agreeable, to daughters engrossing, he had early become a lion of society.
