The four dollars that Ferdinand Brandeis had invested in it still remained unturned.
But when he would have run, when he would have shouted, he found himself as if nailed to the pavement, and felt his throat clutched as by a hand of lead. Then suddenly came a thunderous roar, a formidable explosion, as if the earth was opening, and the lightning-struck mansion was being annihilated.
In the midst of the freshest greenery of summer, you may see the wan branches of the lightning-struck tree.
