Excerpt from The Master of Greylands, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
Out to Shoot a night-Bird.

He thought that great common conqueror of us all, who is called the King of Terrors, was upon him, Death, and it brought to him indeed a terror belonging no to this world.
"I am dying," he moaned; "I am dying." And his frame shook as with an awful ague, and his teeth chattered, and great beads of water stood on his livid face. "Lord, pardon me! Oh, Ma"am, pray for me."
