Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Week in a French Country-House There are two sorts of introductions, those which are meant for the people who know, and those which are meant for the people who do not know. It is not for old friends who remember, that recollections are written, but rather to try to tell people who cannot remember of some who have gone before them, treading with memorable steps towards the infinite silence. When Reginald Smith first suggested that the present writer should add a short preface to "A Week in a French Country-Houses," she spoke to one and to another of those who had known Adelaide Sartoris, the author of that charming story. It has been like listening to a chord, to hear the voices recalling the well-known name, each striking a special note of remembrance. A wise and discerning Châtelaine, who from her youth had known Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. Kemble, dwelt with interest on the different gifts by which the two sisters could best express what was in them.
