Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of John Marston Hall, Vol. 2 of 3A mournful silence was the only reply, and the Priest, clasping his hand over his eyes, remained for a moment or two apparently in prayer. When the hand was withdrawn, how ever, it was clear that tears had mingled with his orisons, and, turning away from the gaze of the domestics, he took me by the hand and led me towards the library. There, closing the door, he cast himself into a seat, and gave way to a burst of feeling, which certainly did not lower him in my estimation.This is, indeed, terrible, he said, when he had somewhat recovered himself. This is, indeed, most terrible, and even I, who am too well accustomed to witness scenes of death, and crime, and sorrow, am overpowered by this.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
