Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Priest, Vol. 1 of 3 A large turf fire blazed on the hearth of that apartment appropriated by the controller of the Earl of Arding's household. The cry of the owl, and the rushing of'tlie bat's wings, mmgled with the saddened murmur of the night blast - not detracting from the cheerful ness of that gay light which mirth loves best; on the, contrary, perhaps increas ing it, by inducing upon the mind the contrast of' the desolation without, to the comfort and security that dwelt 'within.
