Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Red Wallflower That Col. Gainsborough had anything to be ashamed of, or anything to be afraid of, entered nobody´s head for a moment. Fear or shame were unknown to that grave, calm, refined face. The whisper got about, how it is impossible to say, that his leaving home had been occasioned by a disagreement with his relations. It might be so. No one could ask him, and the colonel never volunteered to still curiosity on the subject. The family was small. Only a wife and one little girl came with the colonel to America; and they were attended by only two old retainers, a man and a woman. They hired no other servants after their arrival, which however struck nobody as an admission of scantness of means. According to the views and habits of the countryside, two people were quite enough to look after three; the man outside and the woman inside the house. Christopher Bounder took care of the garden and the cow, and cut and cured the hay from one or two little fields. And Mrs. Barker, his sister, was a very capable woman in deed; and quite equal to the combined duties of housekeeper, cook, lady´s maid and housemaid, which she fulfilled to everybody´s satisfaction, including her own. However, after two or three years in Seaforth these duties were somewhat lessened; the duties of Mrs. Barker´s hands, that is, for her head had more to do.
