The Mystery of the Sea

By: Stoker, Bram

As I sat, a little group, consisting of a manand two women, went by. I found my eyes follow them, for it seemed to me after they had passedme that the two women walked together and the man alone in front carrying on his shoulder a littleblack box-a coffin. I shuddered as I thought, but a moment later I saw all three abreast just as theyhad been. The old woman was now looking at me with eyes that blazed.
