“Oh, yes, yes, what the dickens does come next? C’est la question, ma très chère demoiselle! ” Frau Consul Buddenbrook shot a glance at her husband and came to the rescue of her little daughter. She sat with her mother-in-law on a straight white-enamelled sofa with yellow cushions and a gilded lion’s head at the top. The Consul was in his easy-chair beside her, and the child perched on her grandfather’s knee in the window.Opening · H. T. Lowe-Porter
