Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Debatable Ground "Let her go," said Ferdinand Marcus. "I want my daughter to have a good time." Aunt Stella assented. "Why shouldn´t she go? Anything for a change, when one is twenty-three. Anything for excitement. And she can come to no harm. Besides, Richard is invited too." "No harm," chirruped her brother. "Liberty for the young! We have missed enough, Stella, you and I, through old-fashioned prejudices." Old Hermann Marcus did not join in the conversation. He sat heavy and immovable; his faded blue eyes, under their fierce ridges, travelling contemptuously from his son to his daughter. Weaklings! short-sighted weaklings, with their foolish chatter of "liberty for the young." Was this the way to bring up one´s children, with authority trailing like a slack rope along the floor? What was to become of the old, if the young were allowed to live for their own pleasure. Where would he be now, he, Hermann Marcus, crippled with rheumatism, financially insolvent, approaching his eightieth birthday, if Ferdinand and Stella had not been trained, very carefully trained, to unquestioning obedience and duty? He was impotent where Ferdinand´s children were concerned. His day of authority was over. But - "a good time," he muttered. "They will see..." He called loudly to Stella to bring him at once the English papers, which would not arrive at the Swiss hotel for fully an hour yet. Hermann Marcus was perfectly aware of this.
