Pippin A Wandering Flame PDF Download

Excerpt from Pippin: A Wandering Flame The chaplain seemed to be waiting for some one. He was sitting in his office, as usual at this hour of the morning the little bare office in a corner of Shoreham State Prison, with its worn desk and stool, its chair facing the window (what tales that chair could tell, if it had power of speech!), its piles of reports and pamphlets, its bookshelf within arms reach of the desk. (Bible, Concordance, Shakespeare, the Life of John Howard, Pickwick, the Golden Treasury; these, thumbed and shabby, jostled the latest works on prison reform and criminology. An expressive bookshelf, as all bookshelves are.) One would not have picked out Lawrence Hadley for a prison chaplain; if chaplain at all, he surely belonged in the army. Look, bearing, voice that clear ringing voice we remember so vell all bespoke the soldier; and a soldier he was, not only because of his service in the Philippines he was in the army till his health broke down but because he was born one. As I said, he seemed to be waiting for some one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
