Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toilers of the Sea He set out like one fleeing from justice, and anxious to hide from human eyes. He shunned the eastern coast, as if he did not care to pass within Sight of St. Sampson and St. Peter's Port, and glided Silently along the opposite coast, which is comparatively uninhabited. It was necessary to ply the oars among the breakers; but Gilliatt managed them on scientific principles. Taking the water quietly, and dropping it with perfect regularity, he was able to move on in the darkness with very little noise and great rapidity. So stealthy were his movements that one might have supposed him bent Upon some evil deed. The fact is, though he was embarking in an enterprise which might well be called impossible, and was risking his life with every chance against him, his greatest fear was of some possible rival.

Download or read book The Toilers of the Sea written by Victor Hugo and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Toilers of the Sea: A Novel Gilliatt lived in the parish of St. Sampson. He was not liked by his neighbours; and there were reasons for that fact. To begin with, he lived in a queer kind of "haunted" dwelling. In the islands of Jersey and Guernsey, sometimes in the country, but often in streets with many inhabitants, you will come upon a house the entrance to which is completely barricaded. Holly bushes obstruct the doorway, hideous boards, with nails, conceal the windows below; while the casements of the upper stories are neither closed nor open: all the window-frames are dusty and the glass broken. If there is a little yard, grass grows between its stones; and the parapet of its wall is crumbling away. If there is a garden, it is choked with nettles, brambles, and hemlock, and strange insects abound in it. The chimneys are cracked, the roof is falling in; so much as can be seen from without of the rooms presents a dismantled appearance. The woodwork is rotten; the stone mildewed. The paper of the walls has dropped away and hangs loose, until it presents a history of the bygone fashions of paper-hangings - the scrawling patterns of the time of the Empire, the crescent-shaped draperies of the Directory, the balustrades and pillars of the days of Louis XVI. The thick draperies of cobwebs, filled with flies, indicate the quiet reign long enjoyed by innumerable spiders. Sometimes a broken jug may be noticed on a shelf. Such houses are considered to be haunted. Satan is popularly believed to visit them by night. Houses are like the human beings who inhabit them. They become to their former selves what the corpse is to the living body. A superstitious belief among the people is sufficient to reduce them to this state of death. Then their aspect is terrible. These ghostly houses are common in the Channel Islands. The rural and maritime populations are easily moved with notions of the active agency of the powers of evil. Among the Channel Isles, and on the neighbouring coast of France, the ideas of the people, on this subject, are deeply rooted. In their view, Belzebub has his ministers in all parts of the earth. It is certain that Belpbegor is the ambassador from the infernal regions in France, Hntgin in Italy, Belial in Turkey, Thamug in Spain, Martinet in Switzerland, and Mammon in England. Satan is an emperor just like any other: a sort of Satan Csesar. His establishment is well organized. Dagon is grand almoner, Succor Benoth is chief of the Eunuchs; Asmodeus, banker at the gaming-table; Kobal, manager of the theatre, and Verdelet grand-master of the ceremonies. Nybbas is the court fool; Wierus, a savant, a good strygologue, and a man of much learning in demonology, calls Nybbas the great parodist. The Norman fishermen, who frequent the Channel, have many precautions to take at sea, by reason of the illusions with which Satan environs them. It has long been an article of popular faith, that Saint Maclou inhabited the great square rock called Ortach, in the sea between Auvigny and Les Casquets; and many old sailors used to declare that they had often seen him there, seated and reading in a book. Accordingly the sailors, as they passed, were in the habit of kneeling many times before the Ortach rock, until the day when the fable was destroyed, and the truth took its place. It has been discovered, and is now well established, that the lonely inhabitant of the rock is not a saint, but a devil. This evil spirit, whose name is Jochmus, had the impudence to pass himself off, for many centuries, as Saint Maclou. Even the Church hreself is not proof against snares of this kind. The demons Baguhel, Oribel, and Tobiel, were regarded as saints until the year 745; when Pope Zachary, having at length unearthed them, turned them out of saintly company. This sort of weeding of the saintly calendar is certainly very useful; but it can only be practised by very accomplished judges of devils and their .

She was tossing guelder-roses into the air; some dozens were strewn about her feet on the gravel, but one remained of the many she had plucked and thrown and caught, and thrown and caught again for a sunny afternoon hour. As each greenish-white ball of flowers went up into the air, it diffused a faint but pleasant fragrance. "When I have done with you, my beauty, I have done altogether," said Judith. "With what?"

As some slight deviations from the facts accident ally occur, though doubtless at very long in tervals, it should not be surprising that they sometimes omit circumstances that are quite as veracious as anything they do actually utter to the world.
