Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whitaker´s Dukedom The dust lay very thick on the glaring white road; the hedges were gray with it; and the trees of the wood were gray with it for fifteen feet above the hedges. It had been thrown to that height by the hasty motorist, for the road from Lanchester to Bartle´s End is a short cut much affected by him on his way to the North or the South. Also, running as it does through the Quentin Abbey estate of the Duke of Lanchester, and affording many views of that noble eighteenth-century building, the Abbey itself, it is one of the most beautiful roads in the Midlands. The motorist in his haste loses much of this beauty; but James Whitaker, though he was now walking slowly enough, was losing it all. He trudged along wearily, his eyes fixed for the most part on the dust a few feet ahead of him, giving the least possible heed to the beauties of the country through which he was passing; his dusty ears deaf to the song of the birds in the wood; his nostrils dulled by the dust which clogged them to the fragrance of the flowers which hung on the heavy air.
