Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Living Legacy "Good morning, John; I see I have a big mail this morning." The speaker seated himself at the breakfast table and drew his letters toward him. A thin blue envelope protruded ever so little in the middle of the pile, but his quick eye caught it at once, and he pounced upon it and tore it open with an unsteady hand. John Patterson, the butler (who had never gone by any title but that of "waiter-man" in the long years he had been in Mrs. Brown´s service), watched his master with some anxiety for a moment, and then quietly withdrew to the pantry; while John Brown read the short note through two or three times. Finally he rose and went to the window. As he stood in deep thought looking out on his miniature English garden, one saw that he was almost a giant in height, and indeed his very plain face topped a figure six feet six in his stockings, only relieved from painful thinness and angularity by some hundred and fifty pounds of solid brawn. He had been nicknamed "Samson" at college, and the name had clung, though there was little about him to suggest an athlete.
