Eddies were forming in the aisle as the people streamed slowly out of the church, and snatches of their conversation, in undertones, reached her ears. "I should never have believed it!"

In the bosom of a church, full of profound spiritual experiences, this music has been nurtured, and artistic devotion has streamed upon these men. The necessity of this hoary antiquity to the development of art we cannot readily determine.
Thy good Angel shall meet thee at thy hearth!" The voice ceased. With a violent effort Maltravers broke the spell that had forbidden his utterance.
