Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Honor Among Thieves A long line of carriages stood at the blue door of Mr George River´s house in Brunswick Square, on a September morning. The heavy rain of the night had changed into a dull drizzle which dimmed the brightness of harness and buttons. The footmen´s stockings were covered with splashes of mud, as they opened the carriage doors; their mistresses hurried under the awning and into the house, giving little opportunity for the crowd gathered on the pavement to admire their wedding clothes. What the newspapers of the day styled "a marriage in high life" was attracting a number of guests, chiefly ladies. The throng increased at every moment, till it began to appear doubtful whether late arrivals would be able to get in at the door. "Did you ever see such a crush in your life, my dear?" sighed a thin vapid-looking lady in a lilac pelisse, to a friend with yellow plumes in her bonnet. "Òest affreuse - ça étouffe." (In those days in which England was standing alone against the might of Napoleon, it was necessary for every Englishwoman who wished to be in the fashion to besprinkle her conversation with French words and phrases, pronounced as much like English as possible.)
