Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Demoralizing Marriage "It ought to be a very brilliant ball," said Mrs. Casilear. "I haven´t a doubt that it will be," returned the reporter for the Morning Luminary. Mrs. Casilear rose from her chair and moved several paces toward the centre of the really imperial drawing-room. She was a large-moulded woman, with luminous black eyes and a set of teeth that should have been quite flawless because she frequently showed them in a full, bland smile. But Mrs. Casilcar´s teeth were marvels of adroit dentistry, and, like everything else about her, gave evidence of careful, artistic cultivation. Still, it is possible that no woman could have been at once more smart of attire, more dignified of carriage, and more entirely unaristocratic of demeanor. It was not that she revealed any taint of vulgarity; she had the "broad" pronunciation and nasal-toned voice of the West; but we have learned to associate these with so much refinement and education in our American women that they no longer carry a deplorable sound to New York or Boston ears.
