Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from He for God Only Although the natural diffidence of Miss Rebecca Westcar might deprecate any conscious emulation upon her part of the methods of Julius Cæsar, as labelled in her early lesson books, yet after her own humble fashion did she follow hot upon the heels of that energetic man. To attack less than three definite occupations at the one time, irrespective of any indefinite ones each teeming moment might upheave, would have struck Miss Westcar as a flaccid waste of the gifts a discriminating Providence had seen fit to place in capable hands. Upon this brilliant morning in mid May she was carefully weighing out little brown powders, full of groans and wailing, with Hope, we can but trust and believe, at the bottom of each buff pot; jotting down notes for a new system of village recruiting; studying a flamboyant diagram of a horse with a view to reassuring herself upon a matter in which she and her veterinary surgeon had diametrically opposed views; thinking of marriage in a general sort of way, and in particular of the imminent espousals of little Joan Westcar - a far-off cousin she had seen yesterday for the first time - with young George Winnington, Curate, but what was of vastly more importance to her, as to all the other ladies in the sorrowing Parish, son of old Jasper Winnington, of Thryng; a gentleman with many satanic gifts and an inexhaustible fund of electric surprises. She was keeping a relentless eye, moreover, upon a bevy of neat maids flitting with self-conscious alacrity to and forth in the house opposite.
