Quote from this book "It had been snowing for three days steadily. Canadian winters are bad, but not half as fearful as Swiss. The snow was thick and furry, and everyone in the house, that is of the servants and myself - although I suppose a tutor is really nothing more than a glorified servant - felt as though he was being buried alive. I felt it more acutely, of course: mountains of snow falling on my head and no one alive or willing to hear my cries for help. It was self-indulgence, of course, rank self- indulgence. But then, the entire setting for that evening was, to see the least, rather melodramatic. I sat in dear Franco's apartment on the third floor, in the charming bedsitting room he had chosen from among the fourteen rococco chambers that awesome house contained." opening of 'The Apothecary Jar' Secondhand booksellers |
