Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, a Program Magazine for Armed Forces Personnel, Vol. 15: March, 1957 Margaret Harmon bobbed up from the kitchen table, where she had been busily buttering toast for Stan, her husband, and their five-year old Timmy. "Oh! Isn´t that our ring?" she asked eagerly. "Nope, not ours. Sit down, Meggie," said Stan. "I think that´s Larsons´ down the road. Ours is a long, two shorts, and a long. Remember?" Margaret sighed. "Oh, this crazy phone! Eighteen on our line, and you have to hear all those different rings. It´s enough to ..." Stan grinned. "Now, Meg, this is a rural phone, you know - we´re living in the country." "Don´t I know it! Once I counted five long rings, over and over till it got on my nerves. That operator at Cottage Grove must be bell-happy." "I guess she knows her business," said Stan easily. "You´ll get used it, honey." "All this ringing," mused Margaret. "But never, never for us. It just makes me feel lonelier." "Wait till you get acquainted," said Stan patiently. "We´ve only been here this winter. Spring is just around the corner of the barn - I can feel it! Then everybody will sort of thaw out." "Well, I hope so," said Margaret without conviction. She continued to worry the subject like a winter bird with a hard crust of bread in the snow. "Suppose I did want to call somebody - though I can´t imagine who it would be. I can´t remember whether you ring first, or push the button first, or do both together, or whether you take down the receiver first or last." Stan laughed. "You´ll get used to it."
