Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Countrymen All It was night in the little thatched house by the roadside. The last cart had creaked on its homeward way, and silence had fallen on the house, silence broken now and again by the sharp cry of a child in suffering. A group in the kitchen had gathered around the smouldering turf-embers, and had talked in subdued voices. Over all had lain the hush of expectation that comes before a death. The neighbour women had been in and out all day; but now as the time grew shorter they had left the mother with the child, alone but for her old mother, who sat on a creepy stool by the hearth, and watched them with eyes of suffering. When the child cried the young mother drew a sharp breath, as though she endured intolerable pain in silence. They had been saying, the neighbour women, that the baby was too young to have laid hold upon her life; but to her he was as much a human personality, loving and understanding her, as though he were a man and old.
