Excerpt from In the Day of Battle: A Romance
At length I tore the envelope and read the letter. The effect was as if a fevered man were to plunge into an icy flood and have all his flaming currents chilled in an instant. I seemed to have passed in a moment from one extreme Of horror to the other. I had leaped, in the words Of our poet, from hell-heat to arctic cold from the region of anger into that Of despair; and for a while I was paralysed.
