Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - Hodder fell asleep from sheer exhaustion, awaking during the night at occasional intervals to recall chimerical dreams in which the events of the day before were reflected, but caricatured and distorted. Alison Parr was talking to the woman in the flat, and both were changed, and yet he identified both: and on another occasion he saw a familiar figure surrounded by romping, ragged children - a figure which turned out to be Eldon Parr's! Finally he was aroused by what seemed a summons from the unknown - the prolonged morning whistle of the shoe factory. For a while he lay as one benumbed, and the gradual realization that ensued might be likened to the straining of stiffened wounds. Little by little he reconstructed, until the process became unbearable, and then rose from his bed with one object in mind, - to go to Horace Bentley. At first - he seized upon the excuse that Mr. Bentley would wish to hear the verdict of Dr. Jarvis, but immediately abandoned it as dishonest, acknowledging the true reason, that in all the - world the presence of this one man alone might assuage in some degree the terror in his soul. For the first time in his life, since childhood, he knew a sense of utter dependence upon another human being. He felt no shame, would make no explanation for his early visit.

Autor

Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
