Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marjorie´s Quest It was bitter cold morning. The snow, which had been falling heavily all night, lay in great drifts on the eaves of the houses, and almost covered the fences, while the cutting north wind brought a sort of hail with it that made one shiver. Everybody in the little village of Wynn seemed cautious of venturing forth; the very houses looked sleepy and cold in the semi-darkness of half-past seven o´clock on a December morning. The low wooden tavern, with its yellow doors and green blinds, seemed to be the only place where any life was stirring, and even that was confined to a small group of three people, standing huddled together in a corner of the piazza which was most sheltered from the wind and hail. "Arrah, but I´m thinking it´ll be late, the day, whin the stage gits here," said one of the three, addressing a gaunt-looking man who was endeavoring to scrape the snow away from the door. "I canna say, Barney," replied the other, cautiously, tugging at his red worsted comforter as the hail whistled sharply against the back of his neck. "I canna say. If Mr. Hall left Clifton at the usual hour, hell be here soon. Is the bairn going far?" "The child, is it?"
