Excerpt from The Ring of Amethyst "The Ring and the Book." The Ring. - To George Eliot.

Excerpt from The Rose in the Ring Night had stolen early upon the dour spring day. The tall man Who led carried a rickety, ill-smelling lantern that sent its feeble rays no farther ahead than a dozen paces; it served best to reveal the face of the huge silver watch Which frequently was drawn from its owner's coat pocket.
