Аннотация
The story of Mr. W. D. Howells's 'Their Silver Wedding Journey' is 'Their Wedding Journey' over again, after an interval of twenty-five years; and a clever and entertaining recital of familiarities it is. It is like looking in the glass to read such a tale, and there are all the sights and sounds of the steamer, too, of the Continent, and of the amiable and happy go-betweens of a lover husband and his wife. Mr. Howells beats his gold out pretty thin, but it is gold all the same; or, to change the figure, the old shapes and colors are here again, but the kaleidoscope has had a shake and the combination is fresh. Particularly will they enjoy the result who are about to take the European tour, or lately have taken it, or never can hope to take it except through the eyes of others, and whose recollections or expectations or imaginations are blessed with a little touch of romance and sentiment.
