On the morning of the 9th of May, 18-, three persons important to this story stood among the passengers on the deck of the Isle of Man steamship Tynwald as she lay by the pier at Douglas getting up steam for the passage to Liverpool. One of these was an old clergyman of seventy, with a sweet, mellow, childlike face; another was a young man of thirty, also a clergyman; the third was a girl of twenty. The older clergyman wore a white neckcloth about his throat, and was dressed in rather threadbare black of a cut that had been more common twenty years before; the younger clergyman wore a Roman collar, a long clerical coat, and a stiff, broad-brimmed hat with a cord and tassel. They stood amidships, and the captain, coming out of his room to mount the bridge, saluted them as he passed. "Good morning, Mr. Storm." The young clergyman returned the salutation with a slight bow and the lifting of his hat. "Morning to you, Parson Quayle." The old clergyman answered cheerily, "Oh, good morning, captain; good morning." There was the usual inquiry about the weather outside, and drawing up to answer it, the captain came eye to eye with the girl. "So this is the granddaughter, is it?" "Yes, this is Glory," said Parson Quayle. "She's leaving the old grandfather at last, captain, and I'm over from Peel to set her off, you see." "Well, the young lady has got the world before her-at her feet, I ought to say.-You're looking as bright and fresh as the morning, Miss Quayle."

Free of smelly humidity stains and the smell of a previous cigarette or cigar smoker. While this is a book of fiction, it could be defined as closer to non-fiction, since the author, Sir Hall Caine, has based his writing on diaries, letters, memoirs, sermons, and speeches of recognizable people. He presents the type of thinking and character of creed and culture of social effort and religious purpose, which he has seen in the life of England and America at the close of the 19th century. He addresses the religious life, the devil's acre, sanctuary, and the outer world-a man trying to pluck back a woman about to enter the gates of heaven. The young woman is Gloria Quayle, an actress, and the man is John Storm, who became a priest. The author was very famous during his lifetime, the most highly paid novelist of his day. The Christian is the first novel in Britain that sold over a million copies. The Christian was a very successful play that ran on Broadway in New York City. A nice collectible copy of this book.
