Description
Excerpt from Tylney Hall, Vol. 3 of 3
There passed the spirit! Said the Creole, with a natural shudder; he is dead.
Oh no - no - no, groaned Baby, and in stinctively he passed his hand from the mouth to the wrist, and thence to the heart; but there was no breath, no pulsation, and Hope, which had prompted the test, recoiled with the benumbing shiver which nothing but the contact of Death, that awful torpedo, can communicate. His whole frame shook with a violence that threatened disso lution; a cold sweat broke out in large beads upon his brow - nature could bear no more; and clasp ing his bursting temples between his hands, he dropped like a stone upon the turf.
