"Very softly, but very swiftly, Last, the man……" — Arthur Machen

Very softly, but very swiftly, Last, the man with the grey face… - Arthur Machen

"Very softly, but very swiftly, Last, the man with the grey face and the staring eyes, bolted for his life, down and away from the White House. Once in the road, free from the fields and brakes, he changed his run into a walk, and he never paused or stopped, till he came with a gulp of relief into the ugly streets of the big industrial town. He made hi way to the station at once, and found that he was an hour too soon for the London express. So, there was plenty of time for breakfast; which consisted of brandy."

— Arthur Machen
