Cobwebs and Cables

Cobwebs and Cables by Hesba Stratton is about the tale of Roland Sefton after he steals 10,000 pounds from his own bank and must come to terms with his sins and crimes. Excerpt: «Late as it was, though the handsome office clock on the chimney piece had already struck eleven, Roland Sefton did not move. He had not stirred hand or foot for a long while now; no more than if he had been bound fast by many strong cords, which no effort could break or untie.»
