[The Ship of Stars by Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch]@TWC D-Link bookThe Ship of Stars CHAPTER VI 10/15

I _will_ believe, every damned word of it!" Sir Harry broke in with a peal of laughter.
Taffy had never heard a laugh so musical. The old man was adjusting his spectacles; but he took them off and laid them down, his hands shaking with rage. "You came here to taunt me"-- his voice shook as his hand--"me, an old man, with no son to my house.
