Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Know Nothing;(?) A summer´s day, hot, sultry, and disagreeable, was about drawing to a close. The sun was not quite gone; but the huge hills that begirt the village and valley of Quizville were already affording their accustomed evening shade. The heat of this long, never-to-be-forgotten day had been well nigh insufferable. Even the sturdy farmer had been compelled to relinquish his midday toil; and the storekeepers had done little else than toss their yardsticks from hand to hand. Conversation centred upon nothing more, nothing less; and, now that the shadows of evening were beginning to fall, the pleasant piazzas and pretty yards and walks were beginning to be peopled with anxious seekers for the cooling breeze. It was at this hour that the village loiterers were beginning to assemble about the front door of the principal hotel. This very inviting spot had been looked upon from time immemorial as a piece of public property belonging to the town.
