Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leisure Hours in Town This is Friday evening. It has been a gloomy November day. And now, about nine o´clock, I hear the wind moaning as if there were to be a stormy night. But the fire is blazing, and the curtains are drawn: and here, in this little room, once the study of a wit and a poet, things are almost as quiet as if it were miles away from the great city in which it is. You might hear an occasional shout, from a street which is not far distant: and I am aware of a sound which appears to originate in the beating of carpets in the lane behind this row of houses. But the door-bell, which rings perpetually in the forenoon, and very frequently in the evening, is not likely to be rung any move to-night by any one whose business is with me: and no humble parishioner, interrupting the thread of one´s thoughts, is likely to come now upon his little errand to bis minister. This is indeed an hour of leisure: and oh, what a rest and relief such an hour is, to the man who has it only now and then! Both my sermons for Sunday are ready; and they are in a drawer in this table on which I write. I have seen, I believe, every sick person in the congregation on some day during this week.
