"Look, Andrew!" cried his aunt, pointing to a tinted photograph of James Heriot Walkingshaw at the age of twenty, which hung above the mantelpiece. "Oh, just look at the resemblance!" The young man regarded this work of art with evident emotion. "My sainted grandfather!" he murmured, though quite loud enough for the company to hear.
"Did you feel in any way inspired from without any visions or voices, so to speak, any manifestations or appearances anything of that kind?" Mr. Walkingshaw looked a little puzzled. "The voices of romance and love, and that sort of thing, I certainly heard." "Quite so, quite so, Mr. Walkingshaw. You heard them, did you? Well, it's not every one who hears these things."
