Excerpt from Crucial Instances Sanctuary It was a narrow-browed face, sallow as a wax effigy, high-nosed and cautious-lidded, as though modelled by priestly hands; the lips weak and vain rather than cruel; a quibbling mouth that would have snapped at verbal errors like a lizard catching flies, but had never learned the shape of a round yes or no. One of the Duke's hands rested on the head of a dwarf, 'a siguian creature with pearl ear-rings and fantastic dress; the other turned the pages of a folio propped on a skull.

Excerpt from The Sanctuary Blair Martin stood in the big doorway looking at the gay scene before her. She was tired and glad to get away from the fashionable crowd for a little while, and grateful that the doorway shaded her from curious eyes. Since a small child, and all through the years that her father had been amassing his vast fortune, she had resented and shrunk from the often overheard remarks and the curious gaze people had bestowed upon her. Her sensitiveness to public comment was oddly at variance with the natural independence and frankness of speech she had inherited from her father, Andrew Martin. It was perhaps a legacy from the dead mother whose memory she adored, as a woman of eight and twenty adores a memory cherished by a girl somewhat over seventeen. The incessant noise of the touring cars and roadsters annoyed her as they swept up the long driveway and deposited their gaily dressed occupants by the main tent where Mrs. Weston-Smith received her guests. An unceasing hum of voices, from the low masculine bass to the clearer feminine treble - a gamut of human sound - came to her from the throng scattered over the wide lawns and from the bazaar tables that stood nearer to the trees. From the immense temporary pavilion to the right came the clatter of dishes and again the same incessant noise. She sighed wearily.

Excerpt from Sanctuary: A Play in One Scene The rays of the reading lamp set her golden hair af lame with color and vitality. She fingers her three letters which she removes from her bosom, and circumspectly chooses one, while she lays the others on the table. She smoothes out the letter on her lap and reads slowly, as if cogitating its contents as she reads.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sanctuary I have been asked to write a preface to this little book - a book filled from end to end with devotional thoughts. I am surely not expected to add more viands to a full banquet, nor is my preface to be by way of decoration, like the flowers and music which Holy Scripture tells us are the right adornments Of a banquet, for these the author has not failed to introduce into the work itself in ample profusion. What, then, is my task? The preface, written by a hand other than that of the author, seems to me but too often to hit beside the mark. Its only proper purpose, to my thinking, is like the introductory speech of the chairman at a public meeting not to trench on the matters to be treated of, but to say how respectable and competent a person is the gentleman who is about to hold the floor. It is to introduce not the subject, but the speaker. If this is my task, I have a pleasant one indeed. The author is the happy owner of no of the great names in our literature, and not Of the name but Of the blood of that famous vu.

Excerpt from The Sanctuary: A Story of the Civil War The terrible were strangely mingled. Day after day I saw the symbol Of our national unity outspread by a thousand patriot hands, or when tossing amid the fray of battle, I have watched its surge as token of victory; and grander than all, as crowds Of refugees, white and black, sought its folds for protection and liberty, I no longer felt humiliated nor ashamed, for the flag Of our union symbolized to me, as it must to all the world, Liberty, in its widest, purest, noblest meaning.

Excerpt from Sanctuaries The subject which we are about to consider has employed the pens of many well-known writers, whose works are most of them easily accessible. What they have said has been said at length, and said well. I do not propose to go over quite their ground, however attractive the structures which they have reared, or however important and interesting the History which they have illustrated. The inquirer will find that material ready to serve him in the writings of men of exceptional competence in Scriptural Archeology, down from Josephus and Father Sarpi, and Archbishop Potter and Bingham, to the writers of separate papers in our various Archaeologia, and to the Summaries in Law Dictionaries and the Dictionaries of Biblical and Classical Antiquities. This institution of sanctuaries has its root in a sentiment common to all humanity, i.e., that a peculiar sacredness attaches to particular places, as Tacitus expressly tells us in one of his two famous treatises.
