«Most people have come to prefer certain of life?s experiences and deny and reject others, unaware of the value of the hidden things that may come wrapped in plain and even ugly paper.

A winding-sheet was wrapped round the figure, and formed a hood over the head, from under the shadow of which two fiendish eyes, deep set in their grisly sockets, blazed and sparkled like red-hot coals.»
