{"product_id":"2940013168961","title":"LADY BALTIMORE","description":"I: A Word about My Aunt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Adam, our first conspicuous ancestor, I must begin, and lay the\u003cbr\u003eblame upon a woman; I am glad to recognize that I differ from the father\u003cbr\u003eof my sex in no important particular, being as manlike as most of his\u003cbr\u003esons. Therefore it is the woman, my Aunt Carola, who must bear the whole\u003cbr\u003ereproach of the folly which I shall forthwith confess to you, since she\u003cbr\u003eit was who put it into my head; and, as it was only to make Eve happy\u003cbr\u003ethat her husband ever consented to eat the disastrous apple, so I, save\u003cbr\u003eto please my relative, had never aspired to become a Selected Salic\u003cbr\u003eScion. I rejoice now that I did so, that I yielded to her temptation.\u003cbr\u003eOurs is a wide country, and most of us know but our own corner of it,\u003cbr\u003ewhile, thanks to my Aunt, I have been able to add another corner. This,\u003cbr\u003eamong many other enlightenments of navel and education, do I owe her;\u003cbr\u003eshe stands on the threshold of all that is to come; therefore I were\u003cbr\u003elacking in deference did I pass her and her Scions by without due\u003cbr\u003emention,--employing no English but such as fits a theme so stately.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough she never left the threshold, nor went to Kings Port with me,\u003cbr\u003enor saw the boy, or the girl, or any part of what befell them, she knew\u003cbr\u003equite well who the boy was. When I wrote her about him, she remembered\u003cbr\u003eone of his grandmothers whom she had visited during her own girlhood,\u003cbr\u003elong before the war, both in Kings Port and at the family plantation;\u003cbr\u003eand this old memory led her to express a kindly interest in him. How odd\u003cbr\u003eand far away that interest seems, now that it has been turned to cold\u003cbr\u003edispleasure!","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147506499824,"sku":"2940013168961","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013168961_p0.jpg?v=1763588853","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013168961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
