Book Description | The daily routine of the lady is conducted in such a way that she does not feel bored; From morning till lunch she can be seen wandering constantly, always alone, or frolicking with the dumbest bird in the world; The hen is a strange pastime for a well-dressed and wealthy young woman, but what can be done about her whims? She had apparently nothing to do, always dressed in white or a pale yellow robe, and sitting on the end of the broad stone hedge of the outer veranda under the hops, and tulips on her black hair, or a double poppy, and one wished to look at her like that all day long. . She has nothing to do but her adorable little chicken, who sits on her knees and feeds her peeled grains. |
