Excerpt from The Man With the Lamp

Far down below them the tide was coming in, and they could hear the swish of the waves as they crept up among the boulders. Larks were singing over the fields above them; bees were humming all around them. They them selves, however, had not uttered one word, either good or bad, for about an hour and a half.

The elder of the two was already in his forties and looked Older than he need have done because of the wear and tear to Which his mind had ever subjected his bodily frame, and shabbier than was necessary because of his disregard for all the conventions of this earth. He sat, folded up, his chin on his knees, his hands clasping his legs, gazing out over the water. His steel-blue eyes were weary and strained, his clean-shaven face was thin and lined. But there was triumph and exultation in his expression as he stared fixedly and un seeingly at the far distance.
