Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collection of British Authors, Vol. 1 of 255: Tauchnitz Edition Allerton is one of the small, sleepy little towns which drag on an unprosperous existence in the rural districts of southern England. It can boast of a weekly market, and contains a decadent grammar school and a County Bank, and in the High Street are substantial houses with stone facings, which recall the days of its earlier grandeur, when the Hunt Ball was held at the "Red Lion," and was an era in the lives of the county gentry, and when two mail-coaches changed horses daily at the entrance of the inn-yard, which is now only tenanted by two shabby flies and a four-wheeled trap. Those palmy days are long since gone by, and the rising generation of Allerton is too far removed from them to hanker after the past, however much some of its more aspiring spirits may chafe against the sordid round of cares, the petty traccasseries, and local interests among which their lot is cast.
