Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Latchkey Ladies "What the serpent really tempted Eve with," Anne Carey said gloomily, "was a latchkey." She had been too tired to eat the boiled beef - with plentiful greens - that the Mimosa Club provided for members on Thursday nights. But by the time the hot, burnt coffee was handed round, and she had taken the large cup that Dolly the fat-cheeked maid had remembered to bring her - large cup a penny extra - she began to emerge from the physical languor that had kept her silent, and a faint colour came into her face. Anne when looking into her glass in times of depression was accustomed to condemn herself as plain and pale. To-night certainly she was both. Feeling a definite ill-temper with life, she entered into the conversation of a group of girls at the next table, who were discussing, half in earnest and half in fun, what on earth could tempt any woman out of the "sheltered life" provided she were lucky enough to be sheltered. These girls, buffeting with the world as they did war-work, or any work that would support them, were apt to have moments when independence seemed the most forlorn ambition on earth.
