Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Helen Gardner´s Wedding-Day; Or Colonel Floyd´s Wards: A Battle Summer "Yes?" said Aunt Ruth, with kindling interest. This important monosyllable was, in the mouth of this excellent lady, susceptible of an infinite variety and numberless gradations of meaning. Wooing encouragement; hearty and unequivocal assent; loving sympathy; lively curiosity and civil indifference; sometimes, upon sufficient provocation, a mild species of sarcasm or contemptuous incredulity - all these were habitually expressed by the gentle spinster through the medium of the little word, defined by mistaken masculine lexicographers as "an affirmative particle opposed to no." Opposed to "no," indeed! As if Aunt Ruth could not, and did not, make it mean "no" - and no uncertain negative, at that - every day of her life! She sat now in a well-cushioned Boston rocker, dressed in a gray merino, and a cap trimmed with dove-colored ribbons, swinging slowly to and fro, knitting a lamb´s wool sock.
