Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from When Things Were Doing The Honorable Bill Tempest solemnly lifted the glass of what, after due assiduity and extreme pains in compounding, he was pleased to call Roman punch. The sun was dropping swiftly down toward the Palisades of the Hudson and his approaching exit from a wintry world of frozen fields and bare branches was attended by a gorgeousness as unusual for the season as it was spectacular. In a veritable blaze of glory his blood-red disc, framed in a sea of crimson satellites, bathed with an unearthly radiance the still snow-covered landscape of the Bronx, the crisp shining stretches of road where an occasional chime of sleigh bells lingered in the frosty air, the picturesque cottages of the well-to-do, the deserted parks, the skating ponds where bands of shouting youngsters scudded and circled with their hockey sticks, the many towers and spires that looked enchanted in the soft red winter haze.
