Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hania
I do not remember this man otherwise than scolding. He scolded my father, he scolded my mother; I feared him as fire, though I liked him. In the kitchen he worked off a whole breviary on the cook, he pulled the pantry boys by the ears through the house, and never was he content with anything. Whenever he got tipsy, which happened once a week, all avoided him, not be cause he permitted himself to have words with his master or mistress, but because whenever he fastened on any one, he followed that person all day, nagging and colding without end.
During dinner, he stood behind my father's chair, and, though he did not serve, he watched the man who served, and poisoned life for him with a most particular passion.
