Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ragged Messenger Dr. Colbeck picked up his hat and gloves. ´Well, Patrington, I must be off.´ ´Why must you be off? Why be in such a deuce of a hurry?´ said Lord Patrington somewhat irritably. ´You have been away for a year - you can spare me five minutes, I suppose. Besides, it´s raining.´ ´Is it? Very well Of course I should like to see Lady Sarah.´ ´Youll see her if you wait,´ said Lord Patrington; and he stooped and threw a log upon the fire, and stirred it noisily. ´It´s confoundedly chilly for the time of year!´ It was late autumn: a drab-toned afternoon. Dr. Colbeck, putting his hat down again upon a table by one of the windows, looked across Park Lane to the almost deserted park. Behind the black railings a solitary carriage passed now and then; and beneath the trees, among the falling leaves, dark figures flitted by, vague, uncertain, shadow-like. In the street below the windows, a sudden patter of rain with a gust of wind was sweeping the broad pavements; busdrivers and cabmen were struggling into their tarpaulin capes; two girls with bonnet boxes had taken the poor shelter afforded by the open porch of my Lord Patrington´s stately old house. Doctor Colbeck turned from the cheerless view and glanced round the pleasant room - pleasant and homelike in spite of the dignity of wide space and splendid decoration.
