Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Susan: A Poem of Degrees At Monte di Vico, locally called Mondovi, which is about twenty miles hillward from Ivrea in Piedmont, there lived, about the year 1800, a gentleman of old family, a landowner; who was in fact the squire of the parish. He, while still young, married one of his own servants; a peasant girl named Rosa, who was his kitchenmaid. She was a quiet, good-tempered, innocent young creature; she loved her master, but she never desired, and indeed she always refused, to be a lady. She would not be called Signora, nor even Monna, but only Rosa. She dressed as before, in her village costume, and behaved precisely as she had done in her servant days. If her husband had company to dinner, she retired to her own room until they went away. At church on Sunday, she wore her peasant´s dress; and walked behind her husband, along with his old housekeeper, while the nurse carried her baby boy. Her husband used to drive back from church in his carriage; but Rosa never dreamed of accompanying him. She even seemed to think her own child superior to herself; whilst to her parents and her other poor kinsfolk, she continued as dutiful and affectionate as before: in no way elated at her good fortune, or changed by her altered position.
