Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Pair of Idols The chauffeur was in the garage overhauling the car. That is how Mrs. Bresnin would have described the situation. And Gracie, the Bresnins´ only child, was at hand to lend moral support. On her face sat the remnants of a satirical expression that had accompanied a remark in that vein uttered some minutes before. Oracle was wool-gathering. The atmosphere, hazy with golden heat, was conducive to that state, and she had always been too incredulous as to results to be really interested. Horses were her preference. She was habited for riding, and dangled a whip. The material of her costume, a bottle-green nicely toned by sun and rain, was napless in parts, and a little scarred by briars, but it had a style all its own, a semi-military cut that set off her supple, robust modelling to admiration.
