Opis

Excerpt from Potterat and the War "I like this place immensely!" and with a wide David Potterat added: "The Alps on the left, the Jura on the right, the Lake in front, the Jorat behind, the sun blazing away in the heavens, a garden, and me in the middle of it... What more could a man want?" So then, after a career full of honours and of dangers, the retired Police Superintendent had settled down to cultivate his flowers, grow salads, and employ his detective talents in tracking down snails and slugs. Was it really nine years since he and his wife and two cats had come to live in this old house, above whose doorway, half hidden by the climbing ivy, might be read the poetic name 'Eglantine Cottage.'... Nine years! But happiness is not to be measured by years. Often would Potterat lean upon his spade, and look up at the house, the overhanging eaves of which made it look like an old face in a poke bonnet. With a musically monotonous note the fountain behind the thicket plashed ceaselessly into its basin; and the arched door of the shed, the dormer windows, the laurels, and the thousand and one flowers which faithfully came to keep tryst with the seasons, the jasmine, honeysuckle, tulips, larkspurs, carnations, and roses, lay always under the magic of its voice. Potterat loved to sit on the bench in the shade, and smoke his pipe after the day's work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
