Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ovington´s Bank It was market day at Aldersbury, the old county town of Aldshire, and the busiest hour of the day. The clock of St. Juliana´s was on the point of striking three, and the streets below it were thronged. The gentry, indeed, were beginning to take themselves homeward; a carriage and four, with postilions in yellow jackets, awaited its letters before the Post Office, and near at hand a red-wheeled tandem-cart, the horses tossing their small, keen heads, hung on the movements of its master, who was gossiping on the steps of Ovington´s Bank, on Bride Hill. But only the vans bound to the more distant valleys had yet started on their lagging journey; the farmers´ gigs, the hucksters´ carts, the pack-asses still lingered, filling the streets with a chattering, moving multitude. White-coated yeomen and their wives jostled their betters - but with humble apologies - in the low-browed shops, or hardily pushed smocked-frocks from the narrow pavements, or clung together in obstinate groups in the roadway. Loud was the babel about the yards of the inns, loudest where the tap-rooms poured forth those who, having dined well, had also drunk deep, after the fashion of our great-grandsires. Through all this medley and hubbub a young man threaded his way. He wore a blue coat with gilt buttons, a waistcoat to match, and drab trousers, and as he hurried along, his hat tilted back, he greeted gentle and simple with the same laughing nod.
