And yet month by month the congregation dwindled, week by week the hollow walls echoed more sharply, day by day the calls came fewer and fewer, and day by day the third temptation sat clearer and still more clearly within the Veil; a temptation, as it were, bland and smiling, with just a shade of mockery in its smooth tones.

The Souls of Black Folk
"The Souls of Black Folk" by W. E. B. Du Bois is a collection of essays published in 1903. This groundbreaking work explores the African-American experience through personal observations and social analysis. Du Bois introduces influential concepts like "double consciousness"—the experience of viewing oneself through both one's own eyes and those of a prejudiced society—and "the veil" that separates black and white Americans. Through essays on education, freedom, and justice, he examines the color line dividing races and argues for voting rights, quality education, and equal treatment.

The Yeoman Adventurer
"The Yeoman Adventurer" by George W. Gough is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds through the experiences of Oliver Wheatman, a yeoman, as he navigates life in a tumultuous period marked by the Jacobite uprisings, personal ambition, and romantic entanglements. The novel delves into themes of bravery, identity, and the quest for adventure against a backdrop of deep social and political upheaval. The opening of the book introduces Oliver Wheatman as he reflects on his life in a rural setting, immediately exposing his longing for adventure and the complexities of his relationships, especially with a character named Kate and her brother Jack Dobson, a soldier. As he witnesses soldiers marching and grapples with feelings of inadequacy, his fate intertwines with that of a captivating woman, Mistress Margaret Waynflete, who is entangled in the Jacobite cause. The chapter sets up a series of events where violence and danger emerge, ultimately leading Oliver to rescue Mistress Waynflete, and shapes the thrilling and romantic quest that defines the narrative.
