Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Suffering Husbands A year and nine days after their honeymoon found Norma McKeen cooking eggs, somewhat fastidiously, in the ridiculous little kitchenette that served the magnificent dining room at whose Sheraton table sat Nathaniel Conway McKeen, an architect, scowling over his morning mail. The McKeens in those days occupied an apartment of two rooms which, if you stopped soon enough, conveyed the effect of twenty. Their drawing-room was thirty feet across, gave an appearance of medieval grandeur, flaunted a dishonourably accurate Flemish fireplace, a panelling that was almost Tudor, and many pieces of gracefully galumphing furniture. Among these a great Charles II settee held the McKeens´ grateful affections; it was not only handsome, impressive, capable of luxuriously seating a fat half dozen, but also, after this inestimable service, could be unfolded, massaged and swaddled into a passably comfortable bed. All this in a straight-fronted apartment house, where rents were gloriously high and Fifth Avenue was within easy robbing distance; a sort of kingly squalor of which Norma was growing discouraged and weary this morning as she fished two eggs out of the simmering kettle, eased them into a bowl, and went forth to face her baffled lord.
