O knihe
Excerpt from Jaunty in Charge
When old Mr. Lawrence died he left a share of his busi ness to his nephew John Lawrence, and such piece of furniture or picture as his nephew should choose. Now John Lawrence knew well both the furniture and the pic tures, and wanted none of them. But it was willed he must make his choice, so he pondered perplexedly.
In one of the armchairs, it was said, the great Duke of Wellington had once sat. In the other-a chair just as old, just as strong, just as spacious - no one had ventured to say the great Napoleon had ever sat. Whereas J aunty, clerk to old Mr. Lawrence, must often have sat in both.
