In it is no hint of the gruesome, or the sombre even though the Angel of Death is there. It is all pure beauty a perfect flower from the fruitful tree of his genius at the height of its power. All of Edgar Poe's work gains much by being read aloud, for the eye alone cannot fully grasp the music that is in his prose as well as his verse.
I'll make inquiries here presently." So far Merrick professed himself to be satisfied. But there were still difficulties in the way. The station people had a clear recollection of the receipt of a coffin on the night of the tragedy, and, late as it was, the gruesome thing had been fetched away by the people whom it was consigned to.
It was a most gruesome spot, this Valley of the Ordeal, and Curly was by no means the first who had been conducted hither. But no one had ever come in a more cringing manner than did this latest victim. Some had shown the craven spirit, and had begged for mercy, while others had fought and cursed their captors. But Curly was different.

Then in tones which seemed to issue with difficulty from some immense depth: "Beg pardon, sir," he said, "that ain't a bargain." "How now?" cried his captain, sharply.

By carefully excluding from his mind every thought except that of making money, he had risen in the world with a gruesome persistence which nothing could check.
It was a gruesome sight to those who knew the story a gruesome, yet an enjoyable spectacle; since, as Lady Sarah's friends had not had the pleasure of knowing the sinning Sister in the flesh, they watched this ghostly representation of her suffering with as keen an interest as they would have felt had they been privileged to see Claud Duval swing at Tyburn.
It was all waiting for them the moment they arrived, however, and they stepped in and swung away round Les Lâches, and three other boats followed them so closely that it looked almost like a gruesome race who should get there first.
