Excerpt from Tales of the Passions: In Which Is Attempted an Illustration of Their Effects on the Human Mind; Each Tale Comprised in One Volume, and Forming the Subject of a Single Passion

A chilling sleet bedewed the earth; many of the lamps were extinguished, and the few which remained shed but a faint and trembling light. All was dark.
