Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Half-Moon Girl: Or the Rajah´s Daughter A Man in Brunei, who had come from the Pontianak river, had found a diamond almost as valuable as the one possessed by old Rajah Sandag, which was as large as an owl´s egg, and worth more money than Song´s imagination could compass. She was thinking about that diamond as she stood on the steps of the gold-worker´s house, and telling herself how much she would like to get a sight of it. Once, ever so long ago, she had seen a diamond, a small one not bigger than a durian seed, and it had sparkled so much that she thought it must be a star which had tumbled down from the dark vault of the night sky: and if a little diamond could make such a glittering show, the larger one must be a sight worth seeing. Song had seen the man on board a Bugis junk, as she rowed her own small boat up the river, and she was surprised that his face wore such an anxious, discontented expression; surely if the possession of so much wealth could not make a man happy, he must be a very poor creature indeed.
