Excerpt from The Light of the World The workshop hummed under its breath. The apprentice, who was mechanically polishing a five inch lens in wet rouge, cast longing eyes, as he lifted them from his irksome task, at the zinc-covered door. Workmen, when they entered that mysterious apart ment, so zealously guarded against fire, did so with hushed steps, and with faces knit with excitement. No loud voices were heard from within, and even the busy master gave his orders with muf¿ed lips, lest a harsh breath should chance to ruin the monu ment of his life.
