Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gossip Shop Wendlebury lies in the midst of undulating meadows which are almost always green on account of the heavy rainfall. People who have lived there when they were young look back at the red roofs and tall church spire of the little town through a delicate curtain of fine showers, but those who still remain there consider it quite a dry place, or, if not exactly dry, no wetter than its neighbours. Pauline Westcott, who was half an inhabitant and half a stranger, believed that this continuous, soft-falling moisture worked upon every one there a sort of Wendlebury change; so that the town and people, and even the very cats and dogs, were in pleasant harmony. But she remained unaware how far this process had gone in her own case, or she would have laughed at herself for becoming quite excited about the non-arrival of Chubb´s cab. All her early girlhood had been spent in a London office, where she determined to excel and did excel, chaining her spirit to her desk and following generally the bright example of the Will o´ the Wisp that would be a light outside a pork-butcher´s shop because it had developed a conscience and wanted to be of some real, practical use in the world.
