Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bromley Neighborhood When this story begins, the youngest of those who are to act in it were little more than children, not so much in years as from the extreme quietude of their lives. They lived in Bromley, a country neighborhood, part of a New England township of that name, where everybody took back to English ancestry and clung, with unthinking tenacity, to old habits of thought. Beckenham was only five miles away, and that was an academy town for boys and girls; but even the Academy was of a former type where the classics were taught with an old-fashioned religiosity, and industrial education had made no inroads. The story begins on the afternoon of a spring day. And this is right: for unless you take people in the spring of the year, you hardly know what urge and emotional drive can actuate them; and the late afternoon is a time to study them in their unthinking ease, the stress of day being more nearly over. Then you are ready for them in their activities next morning. Mary Neale, who lived in a large and prosperous house, of a Georgian type, was looking about her kitchen in its just completed order and judging that she might go over to the little house that was her neighbor, to see how its mistress, Ardelia Brock, had borne the day.
