Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from His Great Self " ´Tis certainly a convenience, under certain circumstances, to have a husband, and for a plantation to have a master." Madam Byrd said it musingly, as one who weighs a matter fairly. She stood in the front door of her home, watching a little fleet of three boats just parting from the pier at the foot of the lawn. Two were broad, clumsy punts, each carrying two horses saddled and bridled, with grooms at their heads. The third, which led the way across the river, was a large wherry, English-built - sharp of prow and keel. Her wet sides glistened in the sun; lines of foam swept to the right and left as she cut a straight trough in the water under the powerful strokes of three pairs of oars. The negro boatmen in all the boats wore white shirts, blue trousers, and wide scarlet belts. In the wherry-bows a stately figure arose to wave his hat to the wife in the door way. "Especially such a husband as yours!" The laughing reply was made by Mrs. Carter, a pretty and youthful matron, as, from her easy-chair in the hall, she craned her neck for a view of the fleet.
