Excerpt from The Man With a Secret, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
"With anxious dread have I avoided thee,
Thou haunting evil of my early days,
Yet by some trick of Fate we meet again;
I pray thee, sir, let me go far away,
And place the roaring seas between us twain,
There is but sorrow in our comradeship."
It was the high road to the village of Garsworth, wide, deeply rutted, and somewhat grass-grown, with a tall edge of yellow-blossomed gorse on the one side, and on the other a ragged, broken fence, over which leaned a man absorbed in meditation, his eyes fixed upon the setting sun.
