Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kali´s Jewels The clouds hung low in the leaden sky, the white-capped waves thundered upon the strip of shingled beach with a dull, monotonous roar. The wild west wind moaned ominously, rising at intervals to a wild, shrieking fury as it swept down the narrow gullies and crevices between the rich red iron-stone rocks and lashed the waves into a boiling turmoil, a hundred years ago, just in the same way, as it moans and whistles through ravine and crevice on the wild west coast to-day. A gap in the clouds gave a hurried glimpse of the twinkling stars and a crescent moon, which, in their turn, threw a beam of light upon a group of men, who were standing together on the strip of beach at the foot of the tall iron-stone cliffs. The ray of light also fell upon an old grey stone church upon the cliff brow, a nestling village in the valley below, a wooded park and a long, low manor house, showing ghostly white in the moonlight. "So I have caught you at last!... Turned informer, eh? Added that little bit of pastime to your other accomplishments, have you? I, in the meantime, have bided my time, precious cousin mine. ´Everything comes to the man who waits´ is the old saying. But I have improved the proverb: ´Everything comes to the man who waits - but the man who goes after it gets it quicker´ - that´s my version."
