The White People - Paperback

by Arthur Machen (Author)

The White People Arthur Machen The lady fainted, I think, but at any rate the doctor was summoned, and when he had dressed the child's wounded and maimed fingers he was summoned to the mother. She was groaning with pain, and it was found that three fingers of her hand, corresponding with those that had been injured on the child's hand, were swollen and inflamed, and later, in the doctor's language, purulent sloughing set in." Ambrose still handled delicately the green volume. "Well, here it is," he said at last, parting with difficulty, it seemed, from his treasure. "You will bring it back as soon as you have read it," he said, as they went out into the hall, into the old garden, faint with the odour of white lilies.
