Book Description
Excerpt from Florence, or the Aspirant, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel By no means, said he; that person will conduct you to a seat. The listener still kept close. Are they of us, thought he.

But he had been trained never to turn round in a place of worship, and that in which he was seated, and from which he had rarely wandered, was so constructed that every face in it was opposite to the altar.
