Then the priest said, "For twenty years I have heard no speech like this; for twenty years I have lived with death and done wickedness, and all men turn from me with fear and loathing, and speak not any word to me: I have never looked in a kindly human eye, nor felt the hand of a friend within my own.

And as she stood there listening, a feeling of keen distress, of spiritual oppression, came over Mrs. Bunting. For the first time in her life she visioned the infinite mystery, the sadness and strangeness, of human life. Poor Mr. Sleuth poor unhappy, distraught Mr. Sleuth!

She gave herself for pity; and if she mistook that for love, the splendid generosity of her is enough to take the breath away.
