Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from More T Leaves We had to give some sort of entertainment, and the only question was what it was to be. We, that is self and lady, had been repeatedly dining and dancing and receptioning and drumming and amateur theatricalising at the expense of our friends, and our children had been out to tea all over the place; and all this time we had not called our neighbours together to partake of so much as a glass of marsala and a cucumber sandwich. Therefore we felt that society was entitled to look to us for some return, and that our response to that expectation ought to be worthy of us. So we deliberated long and anxiously. Our social debt went far beyond the dimensions of any dinner within our compass. We could only get twelve people at the outside into our dining-room, and then our waiter (pew-opener at a neighbouring church) always had to squeeze himself into nothing and perform most difficult evolutions at the window end, resulting on one occasion in his discharging a shower of green peas over a lady´s head and shoulders. A dinner was out of the question from every point of view. Theatricals. We debated that and hesitated very much.
