Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Record of an Obscure Man At the close of an April day, hotter than in the North we often know in June, I was surprised by one of those sudden storms of rain and lightning so common in Southern regions. The night came on prematurely, bringing with it a thick darkness that might be felt. This, taking turns with the frequent blaze of blinding lightning, at length completely bewildered and discouraged me, tired as I was, and following a strange road, with no very clear idea of my place of destination. I let my horse take his own way, and, sitting listlessly in the saddle, judged of our progress and of the nature of the route only by the sound of the poor beast´s feet, as they sank softly in the moist sand, or plashed in the swollen torrents that now and then burst across the path. I had gone forward in this way for about an hour, when I was roused from my half-stupor by the sudden stopping of my horse. I looked up, and saw near me on the right a friendly glimmer, sent, apparently, from the window of a not distant house, of which a flash of lightning soon gave me a more distinct view.
