Excerpt from The King's Highway, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Though the weather was hot and sultry, and the summer was at its height, yet the evening was gloomy, and low angry clouds hung over the distant line of the sea, when, under the shelter of some low-browed cliffs upon the Irish coast, three persons stood together, two of whom were talking earnestly. About four or five miles from the shore, looking like a spectre upon the misty back ground of clouds, appeared a small brig with her canvass closely reefed, though there was little wind stirring, and nothing announced the approach of a gale, unless it were a long heavy swell that heaved up the bosom of the ocean as if with a suppressed sob.
