Opis: Wayfaring Men - Lyall Edna

Excerpt from Wayfaring Men: A Novel

"So is detached, so left all by itself,
The little life, the fact which means so much.
Shall not God stoop the kindlier to His work,

Now that the hand He trusted to receive,
And hold it, lets the treasure fall perforce
The better; He shall have in orphanage
His own way all the clearlier."

R. Browning.

"I wonder what will become of Ralph Denmead," said Lady Tresidder, "it is one of the saddest cases I ever heard of; the poor boy seems to be left without a single relation."

"Yes," said Sir John, musingly. "Just the way with these old decayed families, they dwindle slowly away and then become extinct. There was no spirit or energy in poor Denmead, the man was a mere hermit and knew nothing of the world or he wouldn't have made such a mull of his affairs."

"Yet Ralph seems to have the energy of ten people," said Lady Tresidder, glancing as she walked at the river which wound its peaceful way through the park and reflected in the afternoon light the early spring tints of the wooded bank on its further side.
