The vast noiseless space seemed full of sound, like the roar of a distant multitude heard only by the inner ear.

Keniston took the onset without outward sign of disturbance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
