Excerpt from The Black Cardinal a Novel
In June of the year 1801 the chief characters of this story were not farther apart in distance than in mind. As their fates were one day to be mingled for a brief time, speculation as to their doings on this particular date becomes interesting. When we love, we become curious about the history of our beloved. When a man becomes famous, we hark back to his cradle and the log-cabin. It is a pleasure to follow the path of the years, by which a great soul arrived at fame; or a lovely woman came to her heart"s desire; or a wretch to his doom.
