Mr. Gröbe's fancy
Mr. Gröbe used to like taking a turn around his enourmous English garden in his wheelchair. The servant would stop at the southernmost boundary of the property and, with circumspection, the industrialist would contemplate the vineyards that, four hundred years earlier, had belonged to Charles IV. Apart from the curls on his meticulously shaped handlebar moustache, it is impossible to ignore another significant detail of Moritz Gröbe's appearance: his yellow clothing. He used to dress in yellow from head to toe. In his later years, this obsession extended beyond clothing. Only one completely yellow carriage used to speed along the paved streets in the district of Vinohrady, and everyone in Prague knew who travelled inside. +
El capricho del señor Gröbe
Al señor Gröbe le gustaba pasear por su inmenso jardín inglés en silla de ruedas. En los lindes meridionales de la propiedad, el criado detenía la silla y el industrial contemplaba circunspecto los viñedos que cuatrocientos años atrás habían pertenecido a Carlos IV. Aparte de los cuernos de su cuidado bigote estilo Jarama, es imposible pasar por alto un detalle significativo de la estampa de Moritz Gröbe: sus ropas amarillas. Vestía de pies a cabeza de amarillo. Esta obsesión en sus últimos años de vida no se limitaba sólo a su indumentaria. Ningún praguense ignoraba quién iba en el interior del único carruaje totalmente amarillo que cruzaba a gran velocidad las calles adoquinadas del barrio de Vinohrady. +
