Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Those Delightful Americans My mother-in-law was sitting on the lawn as we came up the drive. She sat beneath the pink horse-chestnut with a rug under her feet and the last Kashmir chuddar Monty and Keith between them had presented her with; the rest were put away in camphor in a wardrobe in the blue room. We often told my mother-in-law that she was like Queen Victoria in her accumulations of Indian shawls; it would draw a smile from any mood. There was an old grey, too, with a small hole burnt in it and the fringe slightly moth-eaten; that, I think, had been given to her grandfather by a Rajah, but she wore it now in the morning, reading prayers or giving orders, or if anything took her to the larder. The new one betokened tea-time; the yew bush behind her chair threw it out, white and square, and agreeably suggestive. Frances was there too, with a book from Mudie´s - one could see the label.
