Abraham's Bosom (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Abraham's Bosom Because he was unaccustomed to doctors, and thought it the right thing to say, he asked the physician to name his malady frankly. "I wish you'd tell me. I can stand it, you know." In the bottom of his heart he was sure there was nothing to be afraid of. He was only sixty, which in the twentieth century is young, and as hale as he had been at thirty. This weakness, this sudden pain, this sense of suffocation, from which he had been suffering for the past few months, might be the beginning of a new phase in his life, the period commonly known as that of breaking up; but even so, he had good years still before him.
