Author Description

Excerpt from The Bondman, Vol. 2 of 3: A New Saga; The Book of Michael Sunlocks Fearing to see what She dare not think of; but instead of the evil work she looked for, she had found Jason on his knees by the bedside, sobbing as if his heart would break, and Stephen Orry passing away, with a tender light in his eyes and a word of blessing on his lips. At that sight she had stood on the threshold like one who is trans fixed, and how long that moment had lasted she never knew. But the thing she remem bered next was that Jason had taken her by the hand and drawn her up, with all the fire of her spirit gone, to Where the man lay dead before them, and had made her swear to him there and then never to speak of what she had seen, and to put away from her mind for ever the vague things she had but partly guessed. After that he had told her, with a world of pain, that Stephen Orry had been his father; that his father had killed his mother by base neglect and cruelty; that to Wipe out his mother's wrongs he had vowed to slay his father; and.that his father, not know ing him, save in the vision of his delirium, had died in the act of blessing him.
