Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mademoiselle Fifi: And Twelve Other Stories Major. Graf Von Farlsberg, the Prussian commandant, was reading his newspaper as he lay back in a great easy-chair, his booted feet on the beautiful marble mantelpiece where his spurs had made two holes, which had worn deeper every day of the three months that he had been in the château of Uville. A cup of coffee was smoking on a small inlaid table, which was stained with liqueur, burned by cigars, notched by the penknife of the victorious officer, who occasionally would stop while sharpening a pencil, to jot down figures, or to make a drawing on it, just as it took his fancy. When he had read his letters and the German newspapers, which his orderly had brought him, he got up, and after throwing three or four enormous pieces of green wood on the fire, for these gentlemen were gradually cutting down the park in order to keep themselves warm, he went to the window. The rain was descending in torrents, a regular Normandy rain, which looked as if it were being poured out by some furious person, a slanting rain, opaque as a curtain, which formed a kind of wall with diagonal stripes, and which deluged everything, a rain such as one frequently experiences in the neighborhood of Rouen, which is the watering-pot of France.
