Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guardian Angels The huge Havana-coloured limousine with its chauffeur and liveried footman in front, one of those luxurious modern vehicles, crammed with women´s toilettes and hats, which, as symbols of our magnificence on wheels, have so recently replaced the graceful equipages of the past, slackened its noiseless advance at the foot of the Trocadero incline, as if it were hesitating about crossing the Pont d´Iena, and then stopped dead. The footman jumped to the ground, received orders at the door of the car, and before resuming his place consulted the policeman standing at the angle of the bridge. Eager to oblige these rich people, that functionary crossed the road, and had a brief colloquy with the footman, which was interrupted by a consultation of his road-map. "Rue des Bergers," he concluded at last, "you have only to cross the bridge and follow the quay as far as the Rue de Javel... Yes, it´s the third on the right in the Rue de Javel." A lady in chinchillas, - a fine lady in the Parisian manner - forty years old, rather stout, rather jaded and carefully made-up, thanked the policeman from the inside of the car.
