Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sailor´s Home: And Other Stories It was the end of June, green, damp and steamy. And the meteorological conditions having favoured an outbreak of garden snails, Miss Pelleby, of Laurel Cottage, a dwelling long regarded as the stateliest in Rippleford village in its possession of a double front gate and a small but tortuous gravel drive, became painfully awake to the necessity of a general extermination of these gasteropods. "Otherwise," she observed to her mild, middle-aged reflection in the looking-glass, as she tied her bonnet, "there will be no green peas." "Nor broad beans!" shrieked Sarah, her one maid, whose dazzlingly clean kitchen was only separated by a row of whitewashed joists, a plank flooring, and a bedroom carpet from the sleeping-bower of Miss Pelleby above. "An´ they´ve kidded so beautifully this year too." "How often must I tell you, Sarah," returned Miss Pelleby rebukingly, "that I object to your use of that very vulgar term? Beans grow, develop, or sprout - they do not kid." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
