Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Yankee Notions At The Vendue With lungs of brass the auctioneer Intoned his ritual o´er and o´er: "What am I offered? Do I hear Three dollars? Good! Who´ll make it four?" Cajoled by his official smirk, Bombarded by his heavy wit, The crowd bought things that would not work And other things that did not fit. Across the scene a woman strode, Complacent, voluble, and spare; A hat designed in misses´ mode Sat coyly on her thin gray hair. Into the bidding straight she leaped, As one who battles with her peers. Until there lay about her heaped The rubbish of a hundred years. I heard a grudging neighbor say: "Poor thing! She never had a chance To spend like she´s done here to-day. Until her boy was killed in France. "She´s got th´ insurance money now, An´ she an´ Lil will spread some, won´t they? When all is said an´ done. I vow Some folks do strike it lucky, don´t they?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
