Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Corrie Who? In which the curtain rises slowly on one of those singular occasions, peculiar to New York City´s West Side society. - Mrs. Pinchin´s Sunday evening at home. - Her guests and her curious poor relation, Miss Maria. - The suave and condescending Mr. Stanton, and his tolerant condescension, entirely intolerable to the other guests. - Exit Mr. Stanton, and enter Philip Geikie. - His interest in Miss Corrie Robinson, Mrs. Pinchin´s paid companion. - The face in the doorway and Mrs. Pinchin´s alarm. Promptly at eight o´clock on a Sunday evening in the spring, the drawing-room at Mrs. Pinchin sin West 75th Street began to fill itself with Mrs. Pinchin´s guests. They came on foot, as a rule, and it was astonishing how many among them arrived singly - unattached men and unattended women who, for some particular reason, seemed neither to know one another well, or their hostess either, for that matter. But this was always more or less the case with these entertainments. Mrs. Pinchin was an assiduous sociable; and, after all, the manner in which she had drummed her party together, and filled her drawing-room to the walls, reflected no little credit on her activities, her persistence, and her ingenious social enterprise.
