Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of Old California I Had just come out of the Mission Garden, that quaint old spot laid out so many years ago by the early Fathers to be their last resting-place. Padre Ximeno was a dear friend of mine and I never lost an opportunity for an hour´s gossip whenever I found myself in the little pueblo of Dos Cuervos. I was still lingering for a few last words with the good old man, though the bells for vespers were ringing loudly, and I knew I should be keeping him from his duty, when the figure of a woman came toiling up the steep path to the foothills. Shrivelled and dark, old and frail, she seemed scarcely able to pull one foot after the other; nevertheless she was carrying a half-grown dog in one arm, while with the other hand she partly led, partly dragged two miserable mongrels tied together by pieces of old gunny-sack. "Buenas noches; como estas, Dona Perritos?" called the Padre, as she drew near. The woman cast a glance, half friendly, half frightened, toward the priest, then dropping her eyes and clasping her dog tighter to her breast, she hurried past us without a word. "Lady of the little dogs," I translated. "That´s it, isn´t it? Poor thing, how frightened she looks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
