Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Linny Lockwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel It was the month of December; the wind blew, and the rain fell. People - the few that were out of doors - could not keep their hats on their heads, nor their cloaks on their shoulders: umbrellas were out of the question, and it was so dark that, except immediately under the dim street-lamps, they could scarcely distinguish the ground they walked upon. The gusts blew the rain in their faces, and almost blinded them; and there was such a whistling, howling, and pattering, that they could not hear themselves speak. The hackney coachmen abandoned their stands for the shelter of the public-house, leaving their horses with their drooping heads to the care of the waterman, who stood dripping in oil-skin under the lintel of a door. In short, every body said there had never been such a night before; and certainly there had not been many worse. Whilst all this clatter was going on outside, in a small poorly-furnished room in the neighbourhood of Golden-square, a respectable-looking elderly man was tying a comforter round his throat, and thrusting his arms into a brown great-coat, the lining of which was torn. "Didn´t I beg you, Jane," he said to his wife, who was seated by the fire reading a novel - "didn´t I beg you to mend this pocket?" "I´ll do it now," she said.
