Publisher's Synopsis
That mysterious thing which Catholics call the "Grace of God" does not obliterate, but rather emphasizes and transfigures the natural characteristics of every man upon whom it comes with power. It was the same element in Frank - the same root-principle, at least - that made him do preposterous things connected with bread and butter and a railway train; that drove him from Cambridge in defiance of all common-sense and sweet reasonableness; that held him still to that deplorable and lamentable journey with his two traveling companions; and that ultimately led him to his death.
