“Mrs. Redvale, like most women in the grip of logic, raised her voice.”
H.R. Wakefield, The Frontier Guards

“Nothing," I said, "is worth an awkward pause, not even the exposure of notorious evil-livers.”
H.R. Wakefield, The Frontier Guards

“Of course I have friends but I will not inflict myself upon them, for I know that nothing is more psychically destructive than contact with a tainted mind. Only the hardiest or the most callous can endure such connection. The higher, more sensitive, shun the mentally sick, for it is always their recessive horror that they may have to call them Brother one day. The sanity of all men, and the sanest know it best, is balanced on a razor’s edge, and any weakening will allow the virus of madness to take hold.”
H.R. Wakefield, Strayers from Sheol
