...Vagabond has ever been perplexed and a trifle annoyed by the reverence in which mankind holds the might and majesty of the law. By definition he is a lawless fellow. Not one who goes about with an evil smirk doing all manner of evil, but merely one whose life is bounded by no laws. He walks where he lists and he talks when he lists. It is therefore difficult for him to understand the idle gossip which he continually hears about "law and order." He has seen and heard many evidences of the power of the law. A drunken, riotous...

Susan's mother died in childbed, her father came to a bad end in a wayside ditch. Susan and the rest of them went on the parish, but she and her sister Tamar soon...
...singing is beautiful, appropriate and desirable, but is that all that should be heard in church? Shall the organ be silent except for its necessary help on the hymns, a very short prelude and a totally useless postlude? I think not. Of course the organist is still a necessary evil in most churches where this new type of choirmaster is in control. ... At best the position of the organist in these churches is a most menial one. He is suffered to use the instrument only as indicated. What can be said of the shortcomings of the new disciples of choral...
