Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Love With Honour The double-bedded room afflicted one as a multitude of counsellors. It was impossible to hit on a single object and say, "Here he is; this is the room of that man." There was nothing incriminating, so to speak; and no sooner had one started on a trail suggested by the easel and portfolio leaning in a corner, than one was brought up suddenly by the bookcase over the mantelpiece, where the number of works on Finance and Political Economy placed the poetry books at a singular disadvantage. There was a certain security in the picture at the head of either bed; one held to that and, following the method of Goethe´s genuine scholar, warily developed the unknown. The picture over the larger bed was of the type known as "club portraits." You get them, painted in solid oils, framed complete, for thirty shillings. It represented a middle-aged woman, her face indicating the subsidence of the chosen person into the German housewife. Over the other bed the glare of a May dawn, flashed from the opposite wall, added a fresh obscurity to the "Spring" of Botticelli. The man who lay extended under the benediction of the German Jewess illustrated in his attitude the principles of hygienic slumber. His pillow was low, he lay on his right side, lightly covered. Upon the chair by his bedside were methodically disposed a pipe, tobacco, matches, a tumbler of water, and "The Wealth of Nations."
