Excerpt from The House on Charles Street
They had reached the outskirts of the little town without encountering a single human being. Dur ing all that walk the voice of the Arveyron, angry as it seemed and threatening, had been the only clear sound. Now they became aware of another sound that mingled with it, sometimes afar off and stifled, sometimes nearer as if Just around the corner, but ever the same thin, desperate sound, that Of women weeping. By a common impulse the two set down the bag they carried, and turned to each other.
