Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elder Boise: A Novel The Reverend William B. Boise walked slowly out of the low farmhouse, and his pace was in no wise quickened as he approached his horse, which he had tied to the hitching-post in the yard when, in response to the hurried summons, he had driven swiftly to the home of Aaron Henson, one of his parishioners. For word had been brought him that Aaron's wife, wearied with her burden of forty-five years, had herself cut the thread which from time immemorial had been supposed to be the exclusive possession of that frugal Fate whom men called Atropos. But Nancy Henson had never heard of Atropos or of her sister Fates. Her life had been spent in the monotonous round of duties on the farm. When she arose at four o'clock in the morning and assisted in milking the cows, the one thought in her mind was of the "morgidge" which Deacon Mason held on the farm.
