      THE SOUL OF NICHOLAS SNYDERS,

      OR THE MISER OF ZANDAM

Dame Toelast had answered with a cackling laugh; but Nicholas was never in haste.

      One afternoon Nicholas Snyders sat alone at his desk in the centre of the great semi-circular room that took up half the ground floor of the windmill, and that served him for an office, and there came a knocking at the outer door.
