Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret Bequest The dusk of a spring evening was making deep twilight in the large basilica-like church of the Paulists in New York, lending a shadowy remoteness to the lofty roof and pillared aisles, while bringing out with exquisite effect the radiance of the ever-burning light within the sanctuary, which brightened in steadfast glow as the obscurity deepened. Here and there throughout the church a few devout worshippers were kneeling; but it is doubtful if to any one of them the spell of the place and the hour appealed with a deeper sense of its spiritual and poetic charm than to a girl who sat quietly in one of the seats near the door. Yet, had any one observed her entrance a short time before, it would have been apparent that she was not a Catholic; for she made no reverence to the altar, nor knelt even for a moment before dropping into a seat. But her quietness breathed a respect that was almost devout, as she sat, motionless as a statue, with an air of absorbing the influence of the wonderful stillness and silence which surrounded her. Now and again she sighed softly, as one sighs who feels weariness yielding to a consciousness of rest and peace; and but for the deepening shadows it might have been seen that all the lines of her face were relaxing from the strain of the day.
