Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gold Elsie It had been snowing in a leisurely, persistent way all day long, so that roofs and windowsills were covered with thick white cushions of spotless snow, and now the early twilight was falling, and with it came a wild storm-wind, raging spitefully among the drifting snowflakes like a beast of prey in a peaceful flock of doves. Though the weather may be such that the comfort-seeking dweller in a small community does not willingly let his dog go beyond his own four walls, to say nothing of his own noble proportions, there is never any perceptible diminution in the crowding of the streets of the great capital B. Gas-lights replace the lights of heaven which decline to present themselves; carriages whisk around corners at such speed that the pedestrian saves life and limb only by springing nimbly aside, and a volley of oaths follows the muffled coachman and the elegant conveyance, behind the closed doors of which charming women have difficulty in keeping their flower-crowned heads above the encircling waves of their voluminous robes of muslin and tulle, far from suspecting that fire and brimstone are at that moment being called down upon their unoffending heads.
