Excerpt from Souls in Pawn: A Story of New York Life
The question What is Truth has never been fully answered, neither has What is Fiction so I do not pretend to solve it by saying this book is either the one or the other. It is merely an attempt to paint the struggles of human souls toward God; to reveal the throbbing of real hearts through the medium of pen and ink; and to win sympathy from brother for brother.

I once knew an Irish blacksmith, by the name of Billy Gog, who was a philosopher in his way; and when his parish priest scolded him for not going to church oftener, and loving it better, he said: "Father M, we're all made of mud, and wan puddle is no better'n another; your puddle happens to be the chapel kind, while mine is only the horseshoein' kind; that's all."
