I glanced the other way, and thought I saw--though not distinctly--in the distance a white figure, not gliding in the conventional way, but limping off, with a sort of jerky motion, and, in a second or two, quite lost in darkness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
