Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Owl´s Nest The hawthorn and syringa bushes in the corners of the Gerold Manor courtyard were covered with blossoms; the water from the fountain, sparkling in the bright May sunlight, splashed in the stone basin, while the sparrows twittered upon the roofs of the stables and barns. It seemed as if on this day all bloomed, sparkled, and twittered more than ever in the Gerold court with a feeling of true home comfort, for the bushes, the fountain, the sparrows in their old nests, were going to remain; they would not be driven out, like the startled spiders and moths behind old cupboards and chests at the manor. Yes, it looked truly miserable there, almost as in time of war; the walls were so bare, and there was dire confusion upon the floor of the dining-room! There was nothing of all that frugal housewives had collected in the way of linen and of bedroom furniture, and their husbands collection of silver and household effects, as well as hunting paraphernalia, which was not put into that room in order to be exposed to the cold, scrutinizing gaze of strangers, and later on to be scattered in various directions, to wander through the world sundered from all familiar associations. How insolently the auctioneer´s voice with its monotonous "No. 1 - No. 2 !" rang through the open windows of the room, a voice which seemed to be permeated with the thick dust of furniture and books. It was almost surprising that one of the one of the veterans did not rise from his sleep of centuries in the subterranean vault of the chapel near by, protesting against this voice with its "by rights" accent!
