Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pen Sketches, Vol. 1 of 2: By a Vanished Hand From the Papers of the Late Mortimer Collins "Some thirty miles from Megalopolis, Miles also from the shrieking griding rail. On a high road where once the four-horse mail Flashed gaily past - so placed my cottage is: Boars merrily now the wind tall limes between, Which guard my quiet lawn, a triangle scalene. And you may see me, if you pass this way, Lean on my gate and look into the road, And listen to the skylark´s joyous ode - Thoughtful, not oft cigarless. Will you say, Who wears that velvet coat, a trifle tattered, That curious cool straw hat which wind and rain have battered!" Yes, we have passed that way, and have entered the gate and received that hand-grasp, which, to quote Mortimer Collins himself, would "crush the paw of a hypocrite." We have walked some miles from the railway station on a broad, white road - the great Bath Road that stretches from London to Bath - have left Maidenhead Thicket a mile or two behind, and have arrived at a point where an old inn stands back from the road with its long line of stables, reminding us of the time when the "four-horse mail flashed gaily past."
