Quotation from The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
“There, in the middle of the broad bright high-road—there, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven—stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments, her face bent in grave inquiry on mine, her hand pointing to the dark cloud over London, as I faced her.”
The Woman in White, First Epoch, The Story Begun by Walter Hartright, IV (Project Gutenberg #583)
Walking home at night near Hampstead, Walter feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to see Anne Catherick.
