Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Woman´s Life "Is that the house!" Milly Ridge exclaimed disapprovingly. Her father, a little man, with one knee bent against the unyielding, newly varnished front door, glanced up apprehensively at the figures painted on the glass transom above. In that block of little houses, all exactly alike, he might easily have made a mistake. Reassured he murmured over his shoulder, - "Yes - 212 - that´s right!" and he turned the key again. Milly frowning petulantly continued her examination of the dirty yellow brick face of her new home. She could not yet acquiesce sufficiently in the fact to mount the long flight of steps that led from the walk to the front door. She looked on up the street, which ran straight as a bowling-alley between two rows of shabby brick houses, - all low, small, mean, unmistakably cheap, - thrown together for little people to live in. West Laurence Avenue was drab and commonplace, - the heart, the crown, the apex of the commonplace. And the girl knew it... The April breeze, fluttering carelessly through the tubelike street, caught her large hat and tipped it awry.
