Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sealed Book In ten minutes the Rugby train would be leaving Euston. Many other trains were coming in and going out, and the big station was at its busiest, yet everybody on a certain platform seemed to find time to stare at a small procession which was making its way to the first-class carriages of the Rugby train. A particularly supercilious footman, with the air of having the earth for his footstool, parted the crowd on either side of his liveried form, as if he had been a fast ship cutting through an advancing wave. He carried a rug of the Campbell plaid over his arm, and had in his hand a brown alligator-skin bag, which looked as if it must be fitted inside with gold. Steered by this majestic person came an elderly maid with a bag of her own, and a protecting manner which encompassed the beautiful girl, whose face and tall, slim figure attracted all eyes. A few people in the swarming station recognized her, and proudly announced the fact to their companions, as if it were a distinction even to know who she was. "That´s Miss Montault!" they whispered excitedly. "You know. Sir Campbell Montault´s daughter, who made such a sensation when she came out last year. Yes, the one the Crown Prince of Alicazar was so desperate about, and would have given up his right of succession to marry if she would have had him, but she wouldn´t. They say now she´s engaged to Lord Wrendlebury´s only son - Lord Wrendlebury, the Prime Minister, you know."
