Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Barbara Rebell But early in the June of 1870 there was nothing to show what July and August were to bring to France, and the various incidents which so much impressed the child´s imagination, and made the day memorable, were almost wholly connected with that solitary inner life which is yet so curiously affected by material occurrences. Barbara´s birthday began very differently from what she had thought it would do. The little girl had pleasant recollections of the fashion in which her last fete day, "la Sainte Barbe," had been celebrated. She remembered vividly the white bouquets brought by the tradespeople, the cakes and gifts offered by her little French friends, they who dwelt in Legitimist seclusion in the old town - for St. Germains was at that time a Royalist stronghold - far from the supposed malign influence of the high forest trees, and broad, wind-swept Terrace, which had first attracted Barbara´s parents, and caused them to choose St. Germains as their place of retreat. And so Barbara had looked forward very eagerly to her tenth birthday, but by eleven o´clock what, so far, had it brought her? No bouquets, no cakes, no trifling gifts of the kind she loved! As she sat out in her little chair on the balcony of which the gilt balustrade was now concealed by festoons of green leaves and white roses, and from which opened the windows of her mother´s drawing-room, the child´s conscience pricked her somewhat.
