Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unknown Woman "She´s always been a jolly good pal, dear old girl! I´m tremendously proud of her," said her brother. "Magni-ficent! or she will be, once she gets over this superwoman business. Devilish good figure, what?" said her friend. "She is a very wonderful woman," said her husband. And they looked at each other and grinned, rather sheepishly; for they were, all three, nearer forty than thirty, yet still they could not come together for five minutes without talking about her. And they came together anywhere from once to a dozen times a day. "But what do you mean by the ´superwoman business,´ Kent?" asked the husband, slowly for him. He was the only one of the three who made good composition with the old Florentine leather, the lofty mellowed panelling, the tall wine-tapestried chairs of the room that - spite of its being a library, and a New York library - remained singularly un-mannish and un-American. "Sandra surely hasn´t taken up suffrage?" persisted Sandra´s husband, whose room it was. "Lord, no!" laughed Herndon Kent, stretching his solid, square frame to greater comfort, in his chair before the fire. "Sandra and suffrage! D´ye get that, Jim? No, ´twasn´t that I meant, Maury; something a darn sight more - ahem! subtle. Yes," a bit uneasily, "I guess that´s it - subtle. Sandra is - oh, well, I don´t know how to explain it. Maybe Jim here - he´s her brother - " "Lazy!" accused Jim tranquilly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
