Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Father to Son The train trundled eastward though a landscape now, at last, after something like twenty hours´ travel, beginning to show the austere graces of New England. There were the evergreens, and the lean hillsides set with apple-orchards; the white houses and stone walls unconsciously picturesque; the clean tangles of wild growth, berries, herbs, vines, brambles alien to inland soil; and in the air, now and again, a hint of adjacent seas. The September day was hot; a fine bloom of dust had settled over the sleeping-car plush; the through passengers who had turned out quite spick and spruce for breakfast at Albany, now appeared somehow bedimmed like the window-panes. Promenading the length of the train one received a general impression of valises, of rumpled pillows, of old jaded magazines that were fresh yesterday, of vagrant umbrellas, and little whorls of hair-combings, and furtive crumbs lurking under the heating-pipes. On the rear platform of the rear car there were camped two young men, and an older one who might have been their father; the boys talked together, the other sat with folded arms, surveying the retreating scenery with half-closed eyes from under his hat which was pulled down in front over his thick white hair and his forehead so that it rested on his eyebrows.
