Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spindle and Plough "Her exquisite head drooped on his shoulder. The garden was silent. The only sounds were the soft tinkle of Lady Marcia´s mandoline through the open window of the yellow drawing-room and the swish of the duchess´s skirt as she swept along the terrace." Shalisha crumpled up the paper and cast it from her with a regal air of contempt. "I wonder," she said thoughtfully to herself as she stared down at the long, ill-kept strip of ground which in Sydenham was known as a garden, "what pleasure she finds in reading such things? Such obvious humbug! Of course the duchess knew perfectly well that those two were alone on the sunk lawn, and she would never have permitted it had he not been the match of the season. When I have a real garden there shall be a sunk lawn - but not for eligibles and the artless daughters of embarrassed dukes." She drew her brows together. They were very black and harsh, growing so closely together above her light eyes that they almost formed a continuous uneven line. She looked down again at the narrow strip of ground. It was the most neglected garden in the whole terrace; a long terrace too - of red, hopelessly-alike villas.
