Then a dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear.

For the good of mankind, and for the honor and glory of God.
Bram StokerI have cried even when the laugh did choke me. But no more think that I am all sorry when I cry, for the laugh he come just the same.

He ask no person, he choose no time of suitability. He say, โI am here.
