Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edith´s Ministry The wind whistled shrilly around a noble mansion, which stood proudly upon a high eminence on the North River. It had been called Ravenswood, after the family name of Mrs. Clifford, and had belonged for many years to the old estate. From the front piazza there was a commanding view of the beautiful Hudson, and all around, the scenery was highly picturesque and romantic; rolling hills and noble forests, dotted over with tasteful residences, presented a picture of exceeding beauty. In summer, the noble river was one of the most attractive features in the landscape, but now, its ice-bound surface only spoke of the presence of a grim jailer, shutting in a cheerless prison, its dancing waters. Our story opens in the winter, when the trees are stripped of all their luxuriant foliage. The keen wind swept around the lofty portico, which stretched across the front and wings of the house, wailing first in low sighs, then in prolonged blasts, cracking the dry boughs, and howling a wintry dirge over the desolation which it had itself created.
