Excerpt from The Baronet Rag-Picker: A Story of Love and Adventure
In the year 1867 the very reverend rector of the old parish church of East Looe died. He was found dead in an arm-chair in his library by his aged house-keeper. He had not complained of sickness, and consequently the doctor had not attended upon him; indeed, but a few hours previous he had been seen totter in g about the churchyard, his long, hoary locks playfully fondled by the sea breezes; he had spoken to one of his parishioners, placing his hand to his ear, and exclaiming, I am deaf, as was his usual custom. He died of the disease peculiar to East Looe, which is made less shocking to Christian ears by the coroner's established verdict in such cases, viz., Died by the visitation of God.
