Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Darryll Gap: Or Whether It Paid "And so we are now really rich folks! Just to think of it!" said the first voice, a young, eager, feminine one, pendulous betwixt wonder and exultation. "I tell you, though, boys, won´t it be fun to spread ourselves on lunches at the Astor and Delmonico´s?" said the second voice, with a certain gruffness all through it, and a chuckle through the gruffness. "Yes, father," subjoined Mrs. Darryll, more from that habit of admonition which is apt to manifest itself in the mother of a large household, than from any lack of appreciation of the good fortune which had fallen so suddenly into the lap of her family. "You´ll have to keep a sharp lookout, or your boys and girls´ll make the money fly faster than you can bring it in. It´s my opinion that they´d use up a mint in a short time, if they were free to get at it." Mrs. Darryll´s voice, about on a level with its sentiments and general style of expression, was a fair interpretation of the woman herself, a well-meaning, tolerably kind-hearted one, bound up in a good many prejudices, with no great force of character, a narrow range of living and feeling, and a good deal of unconscious selfishness.
