Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pariah, Vol. 1 of 3 And curving a contumelious lip, Gorgonised me from head to foot With a stony British stare. - Maud. It was the hottest hour of an afternoon in mid-August: the plage at Trouville was crowded, the great bathing function at its height. Bathing-machines were lurching and jolting down to the water´s edge; stout French gentlemen, striped red, white and blue, like cheap sweetstuff, were floundering in a couple of feet of water with the air of sea-lions; younger men were swimming out beyond the masts, or displaying their symmetry on the deck of their double-canoes; ladies in baggy blue tunics and trousers were clinging to the ropes and screaming with shrill ecstasy when a larger wave than usual knocked their oilskin caps together; on the sands there were gay tents, tricolour flags, giant umbrellas, under which the bathers received en peignoir or read their ´Gil Bias´ and ´Petit Journal´ between their dips.
