The End of the Path TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text "The girl came here. All night she knelt on the rough stone floor, praying and--weeping; for she loved him. And the Virgin above the four candles looked down with the great, wistful eyes you see--and bound the girl's soul faster and faster to her own.<br><br>"And when morning came she entered the white walls across the lake without seeing her lover again.<br><br>"Giovanni went mad, I think, when they told him. He screamed out his hate for the world and his God, and rushed up the little white path to where we are sitting now, Signor.<br><br>"Once here, he drew the dagger you see beneath the Virgin and stabbed with an oath on his lips. That is why I did not let you touch it."<br><br>Blagden nodded, and the old monk was silent for a moment before he went on.<br><br>"Giovanni disappeared for two days. When he came back his face was that of a madman still. He was met by a white funeral winding up the little path. You understand, Signor,--a virgin's funeral. COMMENTS: Visual Text Only 3 pages long, with about a page set-up about a painting (the subject of the story which follows). About the church and a woman who dies a virgin. Too bad; we would have liked it to have been promising, because of the author's wonderful name: Newbold Noyes.
