Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Something in the City "You may just as well go and see it, mother!" "But it´s Hammersmith. One couldn´t live at Hammersmith!" "Why couldn´t one? And you could call it ´West Kensington.´ People who live at Hammersmith always do." Mrs. Pender sighed. The widow of a Colonel who had had but a small fortune to leave, she had found existence a hard matter, with two children to educate, and liberal ideas to suppress. Hampered as she was, besides, by all the prejudices of her class, Mrs. Pender found the choice of a London residence, for which she could only afford forty pounds in rent, a very difficult matter. Now her son Harry, a young fellow who had just got an appointment in the Civil Service, and for whose sake Mrs. Pender was leaving her cottage in the country, had picked out an advertisement from the ´Telegraph´ to which he insisted upon her paying her attention. She was reading it, however, with a countenance full of distaste. "Besides," she said presently, in a dissatisfied tone, "the rent´s so low, there must be something the matter with it."
