Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marmaduke "Hello, Davie! Is that you, Davie Sim?" cried a joyous young voice; then it changed suddenly, with a verve which showed pure delight in the unfamiliar yet familiar dialect, from correct English to the broadest Aberdeenshire accent. "Eh, mon, ye´re joost the same ow´d tod o´ a pease-bogle wi´ yer bonnet ajee, an´ a crookit mou´; yen hauf given tae psaulm singin´ and tither tae pipe-blawing!" The voice paused a bit breathlessly as if it had exhausted itself over the unwonted exercise, then went on in slightly less aggressive Doric. "Well, I´m blythe to see you lookin´ sae weel. An´ is that tall lass Marrion?" An easy gallantry came to his tones as the speaker, a fine young fellow of obviously military bearing, turned to a girl who stood very still by the window. "By gad," the young man went on with the same easy condescension, "you have grown into a pretty girl! Give us a kiss, my dear; you know you used to be fond of ´Mr. Duke´ in the -" Then suddenly silence fell between the two young people. Something in the tall still figure by the window seemed to abash the tall figure making its way easily towards it, and left them looking at each other critically. They were as fine a couple physically as God ever made to come together as man and woman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
