Moonchild

…Onofrio in an agony of fear and horror. It retained the infant smile, and Vesquit reached his arms toward it. "Mercy!" he cried, "oh, my lord, mercy!" Arthwait was writhing upon the corpses, horribly twisting, foaming black blood from his lungs. And the old man saw that his life had been an imbecility, that he had taken the wrong path. Brother Onofrio still smiled. "Oh my lord!" cried Vesquit, rising to his feet, "'twere better I should die."
