Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miss. Fingal In 1905, when she was not yet twenty-one, Miss Fingal went to live alone at Battersea, high up in a little flat overlooking the park: she stayed there eight years. The flat, like those adjoining it, contained a sitting-room with a balcony, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen. That was all. The tenants were not supposed to be rich enough to keep a servant; Mrs. Bailey, fifty and well-fed looking, with a grey shawl pinned across her shoulders and a red flower in her black bonnet, came every morning to do the necessary cleaning and to cook the modest meal that Miss Fingal called her luncheon; dinner was a rite often forgotten and never worth considering. She had no belongings except an elderly uncle John, a bachelor, who lived in Bedford Square; but she seldom went to his house. Once a year, at Christmas, he sent her a ten-pound note (possibly he thought she might have some difficulty in cashing a cheque) in a registered envelope, with "Best wishes" written on half a sheet of note-paper. Once a year, in June usually, he sent her his Royal Academy catalogue - she had asked him for it one day, explaining that it would save her a shilling.
