Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from V. V. ´S Eyes M.D. by the paint upon his window, dwelt in the Dabney House; Mr. Heth - pronounced Heath if you value his wife´s good opinion - dwelt in the House of his cognomen. Between the two lay a scant mile of city streets. But then this happened to be the particular mile which traversed, while of course it could not span, the Great Gulf fixed. In one sense (though the wrong one) the Dabney House was the more impressive of the pair of domiciles: for it was seven stones tall and had two hundred rooms; while the House of Heth was only four stories and basement, and had but fourteen rooms, counting in the trunk-room. But physical size is size only: whereby hang few tales. Over and in the Heth House there prevailed the most´ charming air of ease with dignity, of taste plus means, that you could well imagine: while the circumambient atmosphere of the Dabney House, not to put too fine a point on it, was the abomination of desolation, or that abomination´s little brother. Before the one stretched a brilliant street where imposing residences crowded each other just as close as they could crowd, and still be imposing, and residences. Behind the other stretched the likeliest the city could show in the way of slums, and, farther back, just over the brow of the sinister Hill, something less cheering than honest slums. One glittered upon the future; the other decayed into the past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
