Excerpt from The Heirs of Bradley House It was a dreary day late in October. There had been some lowering and rainy weather after weeks of autumnal gorgeousness. The ground was covered with sodden leaves that but a brief while ago had made a sunshine in all the tints of gold, the rich shades of russet, and an intermingling of scarlet. The wind seemed to have blown out all its vigor, and merely wandered along in a slow, sullen fashion. All this was quite in keeping with the straggling concourse of people emerging from the old graveyard at Beverly. One side still kept its ancient name, while the newer and more pretentious part was dignified with the modern appellation, and prettily bordered into plots. They left behind them two newly made graves in the far-away corner where several generations of Bradleys were taking their final rest. A few people who had come in their own carriages were driven slowly away. Some of the nearest neighbors had walked. A little in advance were two people, - a rather portly, comfortable-looking woman, and a somewhat preoccupied man of medium size, with a slight stoop in his shoulders, and an unmistakably professional look. The lady turned slightly, and gave a rather furtive glance to those behind her. No one was within hearing.
