Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prisoner of Ornith Farm "An´ that´s the end of the story," said my nurse in her comfortable voice, "an´ it´s glad I am that little Prosherpina got safe home to her poor mither! Now, my lammie, do you run about a bit. You´ve sat long enough for one while." We were seated close under an old stone wall, Katie and I, on the broad stretch of grass that bordered one side of the country road. On the other side was more grass, then flat gray rocks, and below these a curving beach of cobblestones. The little waves plashed so softly upon the rough shore, they but made a rhythmic accompaniment to Katie´s pleasant voice; and while I watched them I could almost believe that I saw Proserpina´s friends, the sea-nymphs, peeping up at me from beneath the clear green water. Then I fell to thinking of my mother. Had she seen the mermaids? Had she stayed with them awhile before going to heaven? For the fate of many who go down to the sea in ships had befallen my bright young mother. The yacht - Mary´s Hope - upon which she and my father had set sail for the West Indies, four years before, had never been heard from. The Hope, one of the life-boats of the doomed vessel, had found its way ashore. But it came alone, and ∅ so told no story, save the pitiful one of shipwreck.
