Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pity the Poor Blind
Father lucy, the well-known vicar of St. Ninian's, Poplar, removed his biretta, smoothed some white dust from his cassock, and sat down in his chair with a sigh. He was a singularly well-built man, nearer fifty than sixty, grey-haired and of a sanguine complexion, with handsome, very luminous eyes, and so obviously in the maturity of his powers that his sigh could scarcely have sprung from any physical distress. That much, at any rate, would have been so clear to an oburver that he (or she) must necessarily have interpreted it on other and more spiritual lines - as the expres sion, perhaps, half involuntary, of some moment's tiredness of soul.
