It was more than an hour before the rector returned to the library where Preston Cheney awaited him. When the senator heard his approaching step, he looked up, and was startled to see the pallor on the young man's face.
In sublimity of subject matter and cast of mind, in nobility of ideals, in expression of the conflict between good and evil, he is the fittest representative of the Puritan spirit in literature. Read the chapters on this period in Gardiner, Walker, Cheney, Lingard, or Green.
An account of the history of this period may be found in either Gardiner , Green, Lingard, Walker, or Cheney. For the social side, consult Traill, I. and II.

Both women wished to forget, and to make others forget, that they had ever lived in Beryngford. They never visited the place and never referred to it.
