Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Ayside Violet The village of Weston, a place of no particular importance, was located in Pennsylvania, near the Schuylkill river. To the west of the river, perhaps a mile and a half from the village, was a cottage, nestling down under the shade of lofty forest trees, bright and beautiful, with their wealth of mid-summer foliage. A neat, whitewashed fence surrounded the cottage, and a well-worn path led from the gate to the cool, bubbling spring some distance from the house, then on through a strip of woodland to the road leading into the village. In the path near the road were two young men standing conversing earnestly. Both were handsome and prepossessing in appearance, but very different in manner and disposition. The taller of the two was dressed in black, and a spotless white neck tie every article of apparel proclaiming the clergy, but his blonde face lacked power of determination and decision, and his blue eyes held in their depths a shrinking, vacillating expression. He had been invested with ministerial dignity but a few months, and had just reached that point in his Christian career where he felt it a presumption to assert his clergyman-ship, and humiliating to be classed with the worldly portion of mankind. His companion was his opposite in temperament and complexion His dark brown hair waved above a noble brow, and his dark expressive eyes, and proud, sensitive mouth, shadowed by a curling mustache, told of stability, strong determination and tenderness.
