These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside South-Sea Idyls: Look inside the book: But the wind-dried and sunburnt grass under foot, the intangible dust that pervades the air, the rain-cloud in the distance, trailing its banners of crape in the sea as it bears down upon us, -these are what fret me a little, and make life a burden for the time being; so I spur my faithless Hoke up a new ascent as forbidding as any that we have yet come upon, and slowly and with many pauses creep to the summit. ...When the prayer was over I walked to the gate of the chapel-yard, leading the willing Hoke, and at that moment a slender figure, clad all in black, his long robes flowing gracefully about him, his boyish face heightening the effect of his grave and serene demeanor, his thin, sensitive hands held forth in hearty welcome, -a welcome that was almost like a benediction, so spiritual was the love which it expressed, -came out, and I found myself in the244 arms of Pere Fidelis, feeling like one who has at least been permitted to kneel upon the threshold of his Mecca.
