Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mary Mirrilies The fragile, meek-eyed, tired woman at the head of the table went on patiently carving the leg of mutton. The German Governess with the large unstable breast, the high aggressive brow, and the tenacity of purpose peculiar to her nation, who had been working steadily through soup and meat to an accompaniment of guttural through suppressed protests, now advanced squarely to the charge. "Asparagus," she said, "is to-day sixpence the bundle. In Germany during all the months of the spring it is the everyday dish of the most humble. For complexion and stomach alike is this delicate vegetable indispensable." Even in the days of her prosperity that lady who helped the vegetables had a sound soldier-heart, and since Ellaa, her old pupil, had undertaken foreign governess - rapacious creatures without bowels - she had made it a rule to look even more warlike than she felt during working hours. Seeing now the pale flush that mounted to the very roots of Ella´s white hair she became reckless. "May I help you to greens, Miss Engelhardt?" she rapped out. "Their effect both upon stomach and complexion cannot be beaten." "Their effect upon my stomach only too well do I know. May I be permitted a little bread?"
