Excerpt from The Little Huguenot: A Romance of Fountainebleau
The priest had a volume Of Cicero upon his lap, and in his right hand there was a rosary carved Of amber and of gold. Though the sun's beams fell soft in the glen, and the grass was green and rich, and a canopy Of young leaves cast welcome shade upon his face, he continued to read the oration upon which his eyes had fallen, and to banish those seductive whisperings Of the devil, that he should lay him self down and sleep. Insensible to the wooing music of the gushing cas cade, or to that stillness which had come upon all nature as the heat Of.
