Opis: Salt Lake - Beno?t Pierre

Excerpt from Salt Lake: A Novel

The sun did not appear on the morning of the 26th of June,' 1858, until a little before seven o'clock. Vaporous clouds of heat had veiled it at its rise. When it was free, yellow and radiant, Father d'Exiles had just concluded the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice.

Calmly, he locked up the holy vessels and the priestly robes of the ceremony in his shabby canvas missionary valise. Then he carried the valise to a corner of the veranda, which was heavily encumbered with packing cases, and leaned against the balustrade.

Far above, from the East to the West, some birds were passing. He recognized them: curlews, teals, black swans, grebes.

For a moment he remained motionless; then he consulted his watch.
