Werner, E: Fickle Fortune. v1. 20 Sep 2013
Werner, E., pseudonym of Elisabeth Bürstenbinder (Berlin, 1838-1918, Merano), author of numerous light novels published in serial form. Her collected works appeared as Gesammelte Romane und Novellen (10 vols.) 1893-5.
Excerpt 'This is what they are pleased to call spring in these parts! The snow drifts thicker and thicker every minute, and the delightful north-east wind comes in vigorous blasts which threaten to carry us away into space, post-chaise and all. It is perfectly maddening.' The carriage, one of the occupants of which thus gave vent to his ill-humour, was in truth working its way slowly and with difficulty through the accumulated snow on the high-road. Notwithstanding all their efforts, the horses could only advance at a foot-pace, so that the patience of the two travellers seated in the interior of the vehicle was put to a severe test.
