Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Matador of the Five Towns: And Other Stories Mrs Brindley looked across the lunch-table at her husband with glinting, eager eyes, which showed that there was something unusual in the brain behind them. "Bob," she said, factitiously calm, "You don´t know what I´ve just remembered!" "Well?" said he. "It´s only grandma´s birthday to-day!" My friend Robert Brindley, the architect, struck the table with a violent fist, making his little boys blink, and then he said quietly: "The deuce!" I gathered that grandmamma´s birthday had been forgotten and that it was not a festival that could be neglected with impurity. Both Mr and Mrs Brindley had evidently a humorous appreciation of crises, contretemps, and those collisions of circumstances which are usually called "junctures" for short. I could have imagined either of them saying to the other" " Here´s a funny thing! The house is on fire!" And then yielding to laughed now; she gazed at the table-cloth and laughed now; she gazed at the table-cloth an laughed almost silently to herself; though it appeared that their joint forgetfulness might result in temporary estrangement from a venerable ancestor who was also, birthdays being duly observed, a continual fount of rich presents in specie.
