First sentence: ON a warm May night, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-one, the Reverend Decimus Brock-at that time a visitor to the Isle of Man-retired to his bedroom, at Castletown, with a serious personal responsibility in close pursuit of him, and with no distinct idea of the means by which he might relieve himself from the pressure of his present circumstances.
