Excerpt from A Dissatisfied Soul, and a Prophetic RomancerIt was not told me all at one time, but intermit tently as the summer days went by. Yet every word of the tale was spoken in the old mill-house, and I never pass that ancient brown dwelling, standing high above the road on its steep, grassy bank, with the two tall elms in front, the big lilac bush at the door, and the cinnamon rosebushes straggling down to the road, that I do not think of Mrs. Weaver and her story.It was not in reply to any question of mine that she told it, for, notwithstanding Elder Lincoln's suggestion, I somehow shrank from asking her di rectly about her theological views and beliefs. I had received a telegram one day relating to a busi ness matter, and as I sat with Mrs. Weaver at the open door of the mill-house, I spoke of it, and of the nervous dread the sight of one of those dull yellow envelopes always brought me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
