Through the Veil is a 1910 rather short story by Scottish author Arthur C Doyle. - AsNotedIn

He was a great shock-headed, freckle-faced Borderer, the lineal descendant of a cattle-thieving clan in Liddesdale. In spite of his ancestry he was as solid and sober a citizen as one would wish to see, a town councillor of Melrose, an elder of the Church, and the chairman of the local branch of the Young Men!s Christian Association. Brown was his name - and you saw it printed up as "Brown and Handiside" over the great grocery stores in the High Street.
