Gilbert K. Chesterton
The Wisdom of Father Brown
Hardcover
(Forgotten Books April 5, 2018)
Excerpt from The Wisdom of Father Brown
Fate, being in a funny mood, pushed the door open and introduced into those long, strict, sea fianked apartments one who was perhaps the most startling opposite Of them and their master. In answer to a curt but civil summons, the door opened inwards and there Shambled into the room a shapeless little figure, which seemed to find its own hat and umbrella as unmanageable as a mass of luggage. The umbrella was a black and prosaic bundle long past repair, the hat was a broad-curved black hat, clerical but not common in England, the man was the very embodiment Of all that is homely and helpless.
