Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Belle And he that stands upon a slippery place Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up. Shakespeare. A very dull house in a country town, with the pavement running so very close outside the dining-room windows that, in spite of the wire blinds and the frequently dingy condition of the panes, the family meals were clearly discernible to inquisitive passers-by. As the arrangements of the Hastings´ household, their economies and parsimonies, were greatly discussed in Duckington, it spoke highly for the good manners of the place that there were not constantly rows of spectators on the pavement outside, and that for the most part passers-by contented themselves with a quick sidelong glance out of the corners of their eyes. I have often observed this sense of honor in very exposed situations like the Hastings´ dining-room; while, where curiosity is more difficult to gratify, people will peep and listen and stand on tiptoe without compunction.
