Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from That Sweet Enemy I Shall never forget the bombshell it was to our family circle, when Teague, our butler and man-of-all-work, announced the presence of Sir Humphrey Dennistoun and his son in the drawing-room. We were grouped about our great-aunt, Theodosia, in the little book-room, which we preferred for its comfort to the drawing-room, that being difficult to heat and always smelling mustily in the corners. The drawing-room had double fireplaces, and even when both were lit one felt shivery away from the chimney corners. It used to be a joke of ours to call the room the map of Africa, because no one ever penetrated to the middle of it, skirting the coast-line rather to get to the fireplaces. But the book-room was warm with even a little fire; and the painted roses on the walls and groined ceilings of blue and gold, with roses for key-stones, helped one to a delusion of perpetual summer. "Whom did you say, Teague?" asked Aunt Theodosia incredulously. "Whom did you say? Be careful, sir, for this is no matter for jesting."
