Opis: Wynnegate Sahib (Classic Reprint) - Sutherland Joan

Excerpt from Wynnegate Sahib

Gervase Wynnegate waited till the door had closed behind the outgoing patient, then, letting weariness have its way for the moment, leant back in his chair and yawned extensively. He had had a hard day following upon a sudden urgent night call, and at five-thirty he had an operation of some gravity. It wag just a quarter to four, and at four o'clock his hours for consultation were over, and he could snatch a much-needed rest and cup of tea.

There was still another patient to see, however, and after that brief minute's relaxation he pressed the button on his big Chippendale table and glanced at the name on the engagement tablet. It told him nothing, and he waited, his gaze fixed on the blue jar of brown and red chrysanthemums that stood close by, the flowers scenting the air with their fresh, half-bitter, half-sweet fragrance. Beyond the stretched silk of the window curtains nothing could be seen of the outer world save a dull yellowness that could scarcely be called light, and the room, being at the back of the house, was very quiet, with an air of comfort and even beauty of a kind necessarily sombre.

Books lined the walls in Chippendale bookcases of fine workmanship. The carpet was of dull blue felt strewn here and there with silken Persian rugs, the blue of a sapphire in their weaving; an old blue jar in a corner held four superb blooms of snowy chrysanthemums, and the few chairs were covered in golden brown hide.
