Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Polly Lady Prendergast gave herself the full benefit of her five feet eleven inches and surveyed the porter with a majesty of aspect - derived partly from an episcopal father, and partly from ten years of official life in the Tropics - which never deserted her in moments of crisis. Lady Prendergast´s three little girls - Polly, Molly, and Jolly - grouped themselves behind her skirts and stared at the common enemy like little insects, with enormous eyes. "Ally-vous-on," she commanded, in that French - ruthless and unfaltering - with which for generations the British matron has been wont to flatten her way across the continent of Europe. The porter, however, declined to consider the interview at an end. "Ça ecrit!" he shrieked, waving his hands above the voluminous baggage of the Prendergast family, and indicating the bad franc-piece with which he had been rewarded for bringing it from the railway station. "Ça ecrit!" He made marks on the white walls of the second-floor corridor of the "Splendid Hotel," in proof of his assertion; he scrawled all over the labels on the portmanteaux.
