Synopsis

Excerpt from Perronik, the 'Innocent', Or the Quest of the Golden Basin and Diamond Lance

So in Brittany, the extreme north-western corner of France, that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, there has been, since time immemorial, a class of simple minded people called idiots, or innocents, who were known by the white wands they carried, and the large horn-buttons on their cloaks. They wandered around the country, in the evenings stopping off at the nearest farm-house, sure of being entertained for the night. At supper, they would tell stories, or retail the news of the country-side. In the morning they would not be driven out to work, but be allowed to help the women, or do light helpful offices that required more grace and judgment than muscular effort. When they died, they were sincerely mourned, perhaps not so much for themselves, as for their being considered messengers and helpers from heaven.
