Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Children of Passage Mrs. Manning watched, with a fine sense of his efficiency, Small, the butler, pass noiselessly across the drawing-room carpet. The way he tempered the blinds so that not a ray of the afternoon sun should smite her, was quite affecting. He came and he went but always bore the soul of harmony with him, and never omitted to leave a deeper peace in his train. Mrs. Manning was soothed by Small. He was more than a butler - he was a treatment. There were moments when she could have purred with happiness as Small moved gently, benevolently, around her, intercepting or forestalling draughts, wasps, unwelcome visitors, anticipating with anxious eyes, a shower; including in the luncheon basket some little trifle peculiar to the occasion. In their London house - how greatly lost to her only Small knew - he was the spirit of Town; were she a little fatigued, or her nerves on edge, who could announce the Vicar, dear understanding Mr. Willoughby (whose brother was heir to the Cracklethorp peerage) with such delicacy, concord, and restraint. And upon those critical mornings when even Mr. Willoughby carried no message it was Small who ushered Dr. Bennett up the stairs. Small who discussed her case with reverence and hope, Small again who despatched the prescription to the chemist.
