Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irish Pastorals Lizzie Dolan was in bad humour; and so, more than once that morning, Hughy Fitch and Peter Jarmin had told each other. She looked sour, they thought, nipped, too old for her years; her tongue had an edge; a pig with six legs wouldn´t make her laugh; when you spoke she eyed you with an eye like a hawk´s, and answered as if you were a beggar with a meal bag; she wasn´t herself at all, they said, not the least bit. What ailed her? Hughy and Peter wondered. Had she slept on nettles? Had she got out o´bed wrong side? Had the ould mother bothered her? Was she in trouble of any kind? Was the work too much for her? asked Hughy of Peter, at last, and resting on his spade glanced round at Lizzie, as, bending low, she went dropping seed-cuts adown the long strip of manure that ran straight for Emo valley. Was the work too much for her? asked Hughy and let his eyes rest steadily upon her. All woeful and bedraggled she looked. Her skirt was bunched about her waist; a sack-cloth apron (a praskeen, so called) bulging with seed-cuts swung against her knees; she wore an old jacket, out at elbows and fastened at the neck with a brass brooch, hob-nailed boots, a black quilted petticoat and a tweed ∩ her hair was in wisps, her face was wind-chapped and her wrists and hands; she looked pinched, Hughy thought, hungry, cheerless.
