A wave of color dyed his pallid cheeks. His mouth twitched. “I have nothing to fear,” he mut- tered, but with a furtive look that be- lied the truth of his words. “No one can make me afraid.” “The more of this world’s goods that a man possesses, the more he has to fear " said Cranson. “When I saw you enter that palatial home on the hill, when for the first time I heard your, servant call you master, I knew that the Lord had answered my prayer. another quotation hands.” “What,” John Diamond asked, “has prosperity to do with it?
