{"product_id":"2940013378650","title":"THE ENCHANTED APRIL","description":"It began in a Woman's Club in London on a February afternoon--an\u003cbr\u003euncomfortable club, and a miserable afternoon--when Mrs. Wilkins, who\u003cbr\u003ehad come down from Hampstead to shop and had lunched at her club, took\u003cbr\u003eup The Times from the table in the smoking-room, and running her\u003cbr\u003elistless eye down the Agony Column saw this:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo Those Who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine.  Small mediaeval Italian\u003cbr\u003eCastle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be Let furnished for the\u003cbr\u003emonth of April.  Necessary servants remain. Z, Box 1000, The Times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat was its conception; yet, as in the case of many another, the\u003cbr\u003econceiver was unaware of it at the moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo entirely unaware was Mrs. Wilkins that her April for that year\u003cbr\u003ehad then and there been settled for her that she dropped the newspaper\u003cbr\u003ewith a gesture that was both irritated and resigned, and went over to\u003cbr\u003ethe window and stared drearily out at the dripping street.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot for her were mediaeval castles, even those that are specially\u003cbr\u003edescribed as small.  Not for her the shores in April of the\u003cbr\u003eMediterranean, and the wisteria and sunshine.  Such delights were only\u003cbr\u003efor the rich.  Yet the advertisement had been addressed to persons who\u003cbr\u003eappreciate these things, so that it had been, anyhow addressed too to\u003cbr\u003eher, for she certainly appreciated them; more than anybody knew; more\u003cbr\u003ethan she had ever told.  But she was poor.  In the whole world she\u003cbr\u003epossessed of her very own only ninety pounds, saved from year to year,\u003cbr\u003eput by carefully pound by pound, out of her dress allowance.  She had\u003cbr\u003escraped this sum together at the suggestion of her husband as a shield\u003cbr\u003eand refuge against a rainy day.  Her dress allowance, given her by her\u003cbr\u003efather, was £100 a year, so that Mrs. Wilkins's clothes were what her\u003cbr\u003ehusband, urging her to save, called modest and becoming, and her\u003cbr\u003eacquaintance to each other, when they spoke of her at all, which was\u003cbr\u003eseldom for she was very negligible, called a perfect sight.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147520884976,"sku":"2940013378650","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013378650_p0.jpg?v=1763580459","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013378650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
