Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Miss. Driver Perhaps you won´t believe me," said I, "but till yesterday I never so much as heard of her existence." "I´ve not the least difficulty in believing you. That was old Nick´s way. It wasn´t your business - was it? - so he didn´t talk to you about it. On the other hand, when a thing was your business - that´s to say, when he wanted your services - he told you all about it. But I believe I´m the only person he did tell. I´m sure he didn´t tell a soul down in Catsford. Finely put about they´ll be!" Mr. Cartmell, of Fisher, Son, & Cartmell (he was the only surviving representative of the firm), broke off to hide a portion of his round red face in a silver tankard; Loft, the butler, had brought it to him on his arrival without express orders given; I had often seen the same vessel going into Mr. Driver´s study on the occasion of the lawyer´s calls. He set the tankard - much lightened it must have been - on the mantelpiece and walked to the window, taking a pull at his cigar. We were in my room - my "office" it was generally called in the household. He stood looking out, talking to me half over his shoulder.
