Beschreibung

Le 28 novembre 1835, à six heures un quart, M. Thorpe, de Thorpe-Combe, Herefordshire, se tenait assis devant un grand feu de bois. Il avait à portée de la main les fagots d'environ trois arbres, empilés les uns sur les autres, et à côté de lui une petite table, ronde, sur laquelle il y avait une tasse à café et deux flambeaux. Tout à coup il tira avec une extrême violence le cordon de sonnette qui pendait le long de la cheminée. Il attendit à peu près les trois quarts d'une minute, les yeux fixés sur la porte, sans lâcher le cordon ; puis, voyant que personne ne venait, il tira de nouveau le gland de soie avec une énergie qui n'était pas exempte d'impatience.

Autor

Frances Milton Trollope, also known as Fanny Trollope, was an English novelist born on March 10, 1779, in Stapleton, Bristol, United Kingdom. She wrote under the name Mrs. Trollope or Mrs. Frances Trollope and gained fame for her keen observations of social manners and customs. Her most well-known work is Domestic Manners of the Americans, which offered critical insights from her travels to the United States. This book became an important commentary on American society in the early 19th century, marking her as a significant figure in the literary world. Trollope was married to Thomas Anthony Trollope from 1809 until their separation in 1835, and they had three children: Thomas Adolphus Trollope, Anthony Trollope, and Cecilia Tilley. Her son, Anthony Trollope, would go on to become a well-known novelist in his own right. Frances Trollope spent the later years of her life in Florence, Italy, where she passed away on October 6, 1863, at the age of 84. She is buried in the English Cemetery in Florence. Throughout her life, she was a prolific writer, contributing significantly to the literary and social commentary of her time.
