Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from McGlusky, the Gold-Seeker A rough stone cottage, standing well back from a trail that stretched all the way from Mount Olive to the Crow´s Nest, lifted its ugly, uncouth, shapeless mass in the full glare of an Australian summer´s day and seemed to challenge the wilderness to deny its right to be where it was, as a vanguard of civilisation. The stones of which the house was built were all unhewn, ragged and untrimmed, just as they had been blasted out of some rocky hillside; the carpentry, as represented by the door and windows, was as primitive as the masonry; yet, rude as the dwelling was, it looked "homey," honest and hospitable. A wire fence ran round the homestead, and marked it off from the wilds. A few fowls strutted about, as if trying to convince themselves they liked the glaring heat, and in the shade of a few fruit-trees three or four dogs were killing time and avenging themselves upon the flies that tormented them. The door opened, and Maida Lamarde came out and walked a few paces from the house, and pushing her sunbonnet a little back from her face, threw up one hand, and peered from under it along the western end of the trail.
