Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: "It was Saturday night at the Rectory, and the Vereker family-"those absurdly handsome Rectory children," as old Lady Curlew, of Hainings, invariably called them-sat round the dining-room table playing "Happy Families." The rules which govern this absorbing pastime are simple. The families are indeed happy. They contain no widows and no orphans, and each pair of parents possesses one son and one daughter-perhaps the perfect number, for the sides of the house are equally balanced both for purposes of companionship and in the event of sex-warfare."
