A Galloway Herd
Paperback
(Forgotten Books Jan. 21, 2018)
Excerpt from A Galloway Herd
The minister's funeral was winding slowly out of the little manse loaning. The window-blinds were all down, and their bald whiteness, like sightless eyes looking out of the white-washed walls and the trampled snow, made the Free Church Manse of Deeside no cheerful picture that wild New Year's day. The green gate that had hung on one hinge, periodically mended ever since the minister's son broke the other swinging on it the summer of the dry year before he went to college, had swayed for ward with a miserably forlorn lurch, as though it too had tried to follow the funeral procession of the man who had shut it carefully every night for forty years.
