Excerpt from Vassall Morton: A Novel
"Macknight on the Epistles, - that's the name of the book?"
"Yes, sir, if you please. I am desirous of consulting it with a view -"
"Well, this way, Mr. Jacobs. Here's the librarian. Mr. Stillingfleet, let me introduce my friend, the Reverend Mr. Jacobs, of West Weathersfield."
"I am proud to make your acquaintance, sir," said Mr. Jacobs, taking the librarian's hand with an air of diffident veneration.
"Mr. Jacobs wishes to consult Mackwright on the Epistles."
"Macknight, if you please, Dr. Steele."
"O, Macknight. Will you be so kind as to let him have the use of it in my name?"
"If you will go with Mr. Rubens, sir," said the librarian, "he will show you the book."
