“Murphy had found a spot on the street, which made me wonder if she didn't have some kind of magical talent after all.

“The religion of our fathers overhung us children like the shadow of a mighty tree against the trunk of which we rested, while we looked up in wonder through the great boughs that half hid and half revealed the sky.
