The Man with a Secret

A Novel

(1892)

There are those in this world whose egotism is so
profound, that they look upon creation as designed for
their sole benefit, and take advantage of all opportunities
furnished by Fate, to gain unto themselves exceeding riches
and honour, although prosperity to one may mean ruin to many.

To My Dear Father, JAMES HUME, This Book is Affectionately Dedicated, By His Son, FERGUS.

The mocking fiend who near us stands
Entices us to evil deeds;
He binds our souls in sensual bands
The mocking fiend who near us stands;
But some good woman-angel pleads
For mercy at Almighty hands;
With such for guide what mortal heeds
The mocking fiend who near us stands?
