Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Witch Man Innessburg, tucked at the feet of the Blue Ridge, lay fast asleep that February day. She was old and a nap in the sunshine was to be allowed her. It had been a hard winter; the cracks and gullies in her gray rock roads showed that; but now a mild sun shone, the thawing snow lay in shreds on the bright blue grass, and the black beeches had the look of gracious widows who will doff their weeds and smile at you inside a week. It was Innessburg´s old, old houses that were fast asleep. Columned houses, many of them, back of elm-guarded gateways; smaller houses whose front porches the belated street had chopped off and run over, and whose demure doorways opened straight upon the world; grandmotherly houses whose front windows looked like spectacles; warm red brick houses with drowsily sagging blinds; and everywhere, all over Innessburg, little gray-eaved houses huddled in behind the big ones. The smoke drifting from all their chimneys seemed to mark their breathing as they dozed. There are four trains a day in Innessburg, not counting the freights. One of them was arriving now and disgorging among other passengers a young man. He was tall, somewhat heavy looking in his big overcoat, and showing as he swung down the long station platform the gait and carriage of a one-time soldier.
